The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 55
But Xia Shouzhong walked in from the middle gate of Rongguo Mansion with a smile on his face, accompanied by several young eunuchs.

He didn't deal with other people either, just came straight to Jia Jing with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Our family congratulates Lord Hou first!"

Seeing this, Jia Jing affirmed her own thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't know what a happy event it is, but it is an honor for the Jia family to be able to bother Nei Xiang to come here in person!"

Xia Shouzhong heard Jia Jing's words, but he didn't answer. Instead, he said with a smile: "Time is running out, so Lord Hou let our family put it off first, and Lord Hou will naturally know after the decree is announced!"

"Promulgating the decree is the most important thing, the inner minister is invited first!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to invite Xia Shouzhong to go to the incense case.

Along the way, Xia Shouzhong just nodded at the smiling faces of Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng, and then walked straight to the incense table and stood still.

The people following saw Xia Shouzhong's indifference to Jia's mother, Jia She and others, and then his smiling face to Jia Jing, and they couldn't help feeling extremely complicated.

Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty, etc. are the top masters in Jia's mansion, but in front of the eunuch Xia, they have to be so careful to please; but the people they need to please are constantly showing favor to Jia Jing.

Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing the goods!

In the past, they didn't feel it when they were in the mansion, but now there is an outsider's intervention, and comparing the two, everyone finally has a clear concept of Jia Jing's status at this time.

Xia Shouzhong stood facing south, seeing all the members of Jia's family gathered together to salute, he said, "According to His Majesty's special decree: Jia Zheng, a member of the Propaganda Department, enters the palace immediately, and see you in the Linjing Hall!"

After announcing the decree, Xia Shouzhong hurried over, helped Jia Jing up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, now you know what the happy event is?"

"In the future, Neixiang will still come to the mansion to walk around more often!"

With Xia Shouzhong's support, Jia Jing flipped his wrist, and quietly stuffed a silver ticket into Xia Shouzhong's sleeve.

"Master Hou, how can this be done?!" Xia Shouzhong repeatedly declined.

Jia Jing held it down, "Quan should invite Neixiang to drink tea! With this little thought, Neixiang doesn't have to be polite to me! I just hope that Neixiang will take good care of my eldest sister in the harem!"

Hearing this, Xia Shouzhong didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our family will definitely take care of everything for your mother!"

After announcing the decree, Xia Shouzhong didn't stay there, time was tight, but he wanted to return to the palace quickly.

……

Seeing Xia Shouzhong riding a horse and leading a group of young eunuchs away quickly, Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others all surrounded him.

"Brother Jing, what did Manager Xia mean just now?" Jia Zheng was supported by the people around him, his tone trembling.

Being summoned by the emperor alone, and not knowing why, Jia Zheng felt really uneasy.

Only Mu Jia, who was on one side, had a flash of uncertainty in her eyes.

Jia Jing saw that everyone still didn't understand, so she pointed out: "The eunuch Xia just now is the eunuch of the harem, isn't the eldest sister in our mansion a female official in the palace? Now she has been promoted to a concubine. "

"Yuanchun was named a concubine?" Jia Zheng, whose legs and feet were trembling just now when he heard that his daughter had been concubine, suddenly regained his energy. He seemed to be 20 years younger in an instant, his legs did not tremble, and his body did not feel weak up.

So, everyone saw Jia Zheng throwing off the supporting servant and striding towards his room, "I want to change clothes and enter the palace quickly, but I can't let His Majesty wait for me!"

"Amitabha, Amitabha..."

When she heard that Yuanchun was concubine, Mrs. Wang was also excitedly talking about it.

"Brother Jing, Yuan Chun has been favored by you!" Mother Jia also had an unconcealable smile on her face, "Now everyone in our family is slowly becoming promising!"

When everyone heard Jia Mu's words, they remembered what Jia Jing meant when he said "the palace wants to give the Jia family a face".

"Your brother is really good!" Yingchun also murmured silently in her heart.

However, Xichun directly pulled Jia Jing's sleeve robe and cheered loudly, "Brother Jing, you are really amazing!"

Behind the crowd, Daiyu looked at Jia Jing in front, and a soft light flashed in her eyes.

As for Aunt Xue, looking at Jia Jing who was surrounded by everyone, and thinking about Xia Shouzhong's different treatment before, a certain idea in her heart suddenly became firm.

Well, I want to decide on this son-in-law, even the Buddha can't stop him!My aunt Xue said it! (dubbing)

┗|*｀0′*|┛

As for Big Face, the original candidate for entering Beijing, Aunt Xue had thrown it to Java!
Seeing everyone's excited faces, Jia Jing had no choice but to remind again: "Second Uncle Zheng is going to face the saint in the palace. I guess the old lady will bring the orders from the two mansions and the second aunt into the palace to thank you later. !"

Hearing this, Mother Jia and the others also reflected, "That's the truth! Hurry up, go back and change into your pilgrimage attire!"

Immediately, Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. You went back to change their court clothes, and the rest of the people dispersed without mentioning it.

…………

After everyone dispersed, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Daiyu Baochai followed Jia Jing and came straight to the Dahua Hall.

After everyone sat down in the main hall, Si Qi, the eldest maid of Yingchun, saw that Jia Jing's hall didn't even have a servant girl serving tea and water, so she took the only two maids in the hall to serve tea and water for everyone.

"Brother Jing, we are here as guests. You don't even have anyone serving tea and water!" Xichun looked around, and finally looked at Jia Jing with a look of disgust: "Now we have to let Siqi brought Yinger and Xueyan to help you work!"

"..."

Just as he was talking, Siqi brought two little maids to serve tea, and interrupted with a smile: "It's okay, just take Miss Lin and Miss Xue's maids to see what treasures are in our Lord Hou's house!"

"There's something in Siqi's words!" Jia Jing heard the words and joked, "Thanks to the fact that the third master usually carries something on his body, otherwise I would really make a joke of you!"

As he spoke, he took out three gold lockets engraved with "Auspicious Ruyi" from his sleeves, and gave one to each of the three servant girls.

Immediately, he ordered Lai Fu outside the hall, "Go to the library and move out the box I prepared a few days ago."

After a while, Laifu carried a beautifully shaped wooden box into the room, put it on the table, and then retreated.

"What's in here?" The girls looked at the wooden box curiously, "Give it to us?"

Jia Jing nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll give you some good things I bought outside!"

Opening the wooden box, Jia Jing first took out five palm-sized glass mirrors inlaid with gem crystals, which were extremely gorgeous in shape.

"It's a rare thing from the sea. It's a coincidence that you got five of them in total. It happens to be one for each of you. With this, you can see much more clearly than your vanity mirror."

The girls picked it up curiously, put it in front of them for a photo, and all of them said "Oops" in surprise. The person in the mirror is so clear that even the thinnest strands of hair can be distinguished. I don't know how much stronger the bronze mirror is.

Ignoring what it was like for the girls to treasure the mirror, Jia Jing took out several emerald green bracelets from the box, and gave one to each of them.

Afterwards, Jia Jing looked at the box again, pushed it forward, and said, "It's too troublesome for me to share. You can share the rest of the things yourself!"
