dream of red mansion

Chapter 12

After Eunuch Wu left, Liu Yong said he was exhausted and went to the inner hall to rest.

Liu Boran led the crowd to continue drinking, but everyone didn't have the mood to drink, but after a while, Shui Rong left with an excuse.

Just before leaving, he invited Jia Qing to visit his house again.

After Shui Rong left, everyone lost their scruples and left one after another.Liu's residence did not keep anyone, and sent them out of the residence one by one.

After the three of Jia Qing got together, they also bid farewell and went out.Jia Rong rode a horse, while Jia Jing and Jia Qing sat in sedan chairs.

In the sedan chair, Jia Qing asked Jia Jing: "Who is that Eunuch Wu just now?"

Jia Jing looked at his son, patted his head, and said: "He is the eunuch next to the Supreme Emperor, named Wu Dequan. When we meet again, you have to behave yourself."

"kindness,"

Looking through the car window at the main street where Liu's Mansion is going away, Jia Qing said with emotion: "This Liu's Mansion is really not simple, a birthday banquet has attracted two generations of emperors to congratulate."

Jia Jing wanted to cultivate the youngest son in front of him, so he explained: "This old man, Liu Yong, has been an official official all his life. During his more than ten years as the chief assistant, the Great Chu Empire can be regarded as a place where the people live and work in peace and the officials are clear. Ah. Among the more than a dozen chief assistants who have been in my Great Chu since the founding of the country, he has been able to enter the top three. And because he is trusted by the Supreme Emperor, his political philosophy is still being implemented by others. In this way Let me tell you, as long as the chief assistant who takes over doesn't mess around and work in a safe and secure manner, the national strength of our Great Chu Empire will flourish.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he resigned from the position of the chief assistant on the grounds of his advanced age, and lived at home with peace of mind.This move is actually making way for the new emperor, which makes the current emperor very satisfied.In the future, if you become an official in the court, you should learn from this old man. "

I ×, so awesome?Judging from this, the old man is really not a pedantic scholar, but a peerless minister who is proficient in human affairs and has great talents.

But why did he feel a little unreliable? First, the old man pretended to be dying.
Nodding his head, Jia Qing said again: "What about Prince Beijing, he looks so young."

Jia Jing was silent for a while, as if reminiscing about the past, and then replied: "The ancestors of Prince Beijing and my family's ancestors were sworn brothers, and they served together under the tent of our Great Chu Emperor Taizu. Later, the Great Chu Kingdom was established. The ancestors and emperors rewarded meritorious deeds.

Originally, my family could also be crowned king based on merit, but the two brothers of the ancestors of my Jia family were both among the twelve honorable ministers who founded the country.A family with two kings is really too dazzling, the ancestors of my family asked to be exempted from the title of king for the sake of future generations.

Emperor Taizu clearly defined rewards and punishments, and felt that he was unfair to the Jia brothers.After moving the capital to Beijing, he ordered the construction of the Rongning Second Mansion for the Jia brothers, which is now my Jia Family Rongning Second Mansion.He also wrote: "From now on, the children and grandchildren will inherit the blessings, and the people of Li and Shu will read Rongning to this day" is engraved in the Jia's ancestral hall, which means that the royal family wants to share wealth and honor with the Jia family. "

Speaking of this, Jia Jing's face clearly showed pride.

What can Jia Qing say?It is said that the royal family is unreliable. Will the Jia family be ransacked by the royal family in less than ten years?
He chooses to keep his mouth shut.

I heard Jia Jing continue to say: "The current King of Beijing Jing is named Shui Rong, he is of the same generation as you. The reason why his family can still inherit the title of the king today is that his ancestors have made the greatest contributions among the four kings and eight princes." In addition to the reason, more importantly, his father played a decisive role in the process of the current Holy Majesty's ascension to the throne.

His family already had three Kings of Beijing. According to the law of the ancestors, in his generation, no matter what, he should be downgraded to the rank of a noble.

The current emperor felt his father's favor and tried his best to resist all opinions. In the end, he was allowed to inherit the king's title and valued him very much. "

Seeing that Jia Jing had finished speaking, Jia Qing asked in order not to be cold-hearted, "Then the King of Beijing invited me to his residence, should I go?"

In fact, he has already made up his mind that he must go to the meeting when he has the opportunity.

Jia Jing thought for a while, and said: "It stands to reason that the prince may have said polite words, but if he invites you in another post, you'd better go."

Jia Qing agreed: "Well, I will listen to Daddy."

Seeing that the sedan chair was about to enter Rongning Street, the father and son stopped talking.

After entering the mansion, when he was about to separate from Jia Jing, Jia Qing called out to stop Jia Jing: "I want to tell my father, my son has something to ask."

"What's the matter?"

Jia Qing said, "I want my father to give me two servants."

Jia Jingqi said: "What's the use of you wanting a servant? Isn't your sister-in-law arranging followers for you when you go out?"

"It's not good for my son to bother my sister-in-law all the time, besides, I have some guests of my own now, so my son has grown up~"

Jia Qing pretended to be shy.

Jia Jing looked at the villain in front of him, and couldn't help smiling when he heard him say that he had grown up.He also remembered that today he became famous, other sons in the mansion might invite him as a guest or something, didn't the king of Beijing Jing already do that.After thinking about it, I agreed.

"Then what kind of boy do you want?"

As soon as he heard something interesting, Jia Qing hurriedly said: "The one who looks smart and is older than me, preferably over 13 years old."

Those who can work as servants for young masters in big families must be underage male domestic servants, so he doesn't need to mention the upper age limit.

"Okay, after I make arrangements tomorrow, I'll ask you to come and see."

Jia Qing was overjoyed, and completed another key move, so he didn't have to do everything by himself in the future.

After thanking Jia Jing, Jia Qing quickly ran back to his yard.

Along the way, the passing maids and women saw Erye Qing running around in the back house, thinking that something good happened to him again, and they all saluted and said hello.

Jia Qing was in Jia's mansion, and he was kind to his servants on weekdays, and he would not shrink back when meeting people.The most important thing is that none of the masters in this mansion would oppress him, not Jia Jing and You Shi, Jia Zhen would not dare because of Jia Jing, Jia Rong and others were not qualified.Therefore, the servants did not dare to disrespect Jia Qing.

This clearly distinguishes Jia Huan, the unlucky fellow who is also a concubine, who is even worse than a servant in the Rongguo Mansion.

All the way into his own yard, the yard was empty and quiet.

Those sweeping women knew that Jia Qing didn't like them wandering in the yard, so they went back after finishing their work.The little girls probably hid somewhere.

"Sister Xiaoluan? Sister Xiaofeng?" He called twice, but no one answered.But Cui Liu, a female worker in the West Wing, might have heard it, and walked out and said: "Those little hoofs are probably in the flower hall, it's the second master who spoiled them all." Cui Liu has lived very comfortably these few years, People are also more cheerful than before.

"Got it, Aunt Liu, I'm going to find them~" Before finishing speaking, she ran away.

Leaving Cui Liu behind, he laughed and said, "Second Master has really grown up, and knows how to play with girls." After speaking, he turned and went back to the room.

This is absolutely wrong to blame our second master Qing. What do you mean you know how to play with girls when you grow up?He's known since he was three years old, okay?
Jia Qing went up the corridor from the east side of the courtyard, walked fifty steps along the corridor, turned right and entered a door, and sure enough, he saw four or five little girls in red and green chattering and laughing in the flower hall.

"Haha, you're actually spoiling my flowers here, so I'll make it easier for me to find them!" Jia Qing shouted deliberately.

The girls in the flower hall were startled when they heard the exaggerated voice, but they reacted quickly.

"Second Master is back"

"Quickly, get Second Master in and tell him to scare us."

Therefore, Jia Erye, who was not as big as the maids, was screwed into the hall by several maids.

"Ah, let go of you, if you don't let go, I will call you."

"Heck, listen, the second master is still calling. I want to hear how the second master is calling, do you want to hear it?"

Needless to say, such a bold girl must be Peifeng.

Although he is not afraid of the maids making fun of him, he is also happy to play with them.But the phrase 'Help, molested' was not uttered, mainly because they were afraid that the women outside the wall would hear it.

After frolicking among the fragrant maids for a while, he was finally let go.

"Second Master, what kind of precious flower did you raise, and one bloomed today."

oh?Jia Qing looked up, and sure enough, in the northeast corner of the flower hall, one of the two pots of flowers that were not placed together with other flower pots had a small flower bud, which was not fully opened.

He immediately walked over and looked at the small white peony flower.Although it has not fully opened yet, the splendor was shown to the world for the first time, and Jia Qing was very satisfied when he smelled the almost inaudible fragrance of flowers.The last time he visited the flower market for two hours, he found two pots of precious varieties: a pot of white peony, and a pot of Chunlan, also called orchid grass.

But the pot of orchid grass next to it didn't show any signs of blooming.
