serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 237 Song Chengliang's Invitation

In a blink of an eye, it is another twelfth lunar month, and today is Xiaonian, which is the day when the people give away the Kitchen God.

As the year approached, Ningguo Mansion became more and more busy.

After the heavy snowfall on the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky in the capital has been sunny.

After breakfast, snowflakes suddenly fluttered in the sky one after another. Due to the heavy snow, the ground was already completely white in less than half an hour.

The backyard of Ning'an Hall was peaceful.

in the bedroom

Jia Hu sat in front of the desk, looking at the letter in his hand, lost in thought.

This is a letter sent by Dai Quan's order. It's just a few dozen words, and the amount of information is huge.

Shui Rong took his family and went south on a merchant ship. He also went to Nanyang with his cronies and thousands of elite veterans. He also took away all the craftsmen, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

The members of the Kong family of Nanzong have already arrived in Tianjin, and they are waiting for the descendants of Yan Shenggong to arrive at Tianjin Wharf.

This group of people is completely insane. They want to assassinate the descendants of Duke Yansheng so that the Kong family of Nanzong can inherit the title of Duke Yansheng.

Yan Shenggong's five-year-old great-grandson entered Beijing by land, escorted by Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding's personal soldiers, and had already entered the border of Shanxi.

A cripple replaced the whole Nanzong Kong family, leaving only a five-year-old doll. The emperor's wishful thinking was really well done!

It's a pity that King Zhongshun and King Yizhong County still couldn't get involved.

The scourge will last for thousands of years!

Suddenly, there was the explosion of fireworks in Huifang Garden, interspersed with the sound of "bang", two kicks roared into the air and exploded again. Jia Hu came back to his senses and smiled. This is Xiangyun and Xichun Fireworks are being set off again.

Folding the letter and putting it in the box, Jia Hu stood up, walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window. Looking at it, he suddenly remembered what happened the day before yesterday and laughed.

Old people often say that stupid people have stupid blessings, and this statement should be suitable for Yang Dayong.

After a few days of consideration, Yingchun nodded and agreed to the marriage without accident, and Jia Amnesty ordered Jia Lian to post a post to invite Yang Dayong to come and see for himself.

This kid is also amazing. In the winter, he was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved silk robe, the kind without any embroidery decorations, which made his face even darker. He also held a folding fan in his hand and fanned it all the way. Enter Rongguo Mansion.

This is not a big deal, because the silk robe is very light, as soon as he walked into Rong En Hall, a gust of drafts blew the corners of the robe up, revealing the coarse cotton padded jacket he was wearing inside.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty did not intentionally make things difficult for him, and after asking him some questions, he sent him to Rongqing Hall to meet Jia Mu.

Different from Jia She, Jia's mother liked Yang Dayong very much and praised him for his honesty and integrity. When she heard that he was studying Go, she gave him a pair of Liaojin Cizhou Kiln Go pieces that had been collected for many years, and the other one was one foot long. How thick is the chessboard, which is specially made of millennium logs.

This boy was not stupid at the critical moment, and he really kowtowed to Jia Mu three times. He was so happy that Jia Mu kept saying hello to leave a meal, and asked Jia Hu, Jia Lian and Baoyu to accompany him by name.

In the end, the kid went out lying down, and the two parties agreed that after the first lunar month, Yang Dayong invited the official media to come to discuss the happy event.

This incident quickly spread among the army, and the generals of the battalions lined up for the past few days, and the threshold was almost trampled.

Of course, they didn't come to propose marriage, they all came to congratulate, and there were a few like Yang Dayong who hadn't married yet and had the cheek to ask Jia Hu to help arrange the marriage.

This also reminded Jia Hu suddenly that it was time for Lin San and the others to start a family.

At the beginning, 70 people including Yang Dayong, Zhang Cheng, Lin San, and Li Si accompanied Jia Hu to enter the customs. In the past two years, there were 49 people left, 23 of whom were in the personal army. According to Lin San, how many A soldier walked very close to the maid at home.

It seems that Lin San and Lin Zhixiao's daughter Xiaohong have an unusual relationship. Hey, both of them have the surname Lin, so this can be considered fate.

After thinking about it, he smiled to himself.

At this time Lin Daiyu came in: "What are you secretly enjoying here?"

Jia Hu came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's Madam who is back!"

"I see your ears are itching again!"

Lin Daiyu glared at him, walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, she looked at Jia Hu again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I asked Xueyan to call you to the conference hall, why haven't you gone yet?"

Jia Hu suddenly remembered: "Look at me, I forgot about this matter. It's Dai Quan's fault, it's all his fault!" He said, bringing a bowl of tea to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu took a few sips from the tea bowl, and then said: "The Qin family's maid, Rui Zhu, came back just now, and said that the master of the Qin family is getting more seriously ill, and the doctor ordered him to eat ginseng soup. Sister-in-law sent some over."

Jia Hu nodded.

Lin Daiyu went on to say: "I asked you to discuss the matter of drinking New Year's wine in the first month. If you don't come, I can only ask you in person."

Jia Hu was stunned: "You can discuss this matter, don't ask me."

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "Didn't you say that in the first month, you will have a separate banquet for those from the old Liaodong Army? These days are always staggered. By the way, you still have to invite Director Dai to have flower wine." As she spoke, she couldn't help herself laughed.

Jia Hu also smiled: "Thanks for reminding me, otherwise I really forgot."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "The first day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the lady returns home to visit her relatives, our family will also go to the house to help. Well, I will go to the ancestral hall to pay respects on the morning of the seventeenth. How about this, the banquet for the old Liaodong Army will be held on the On the eighth day, as for Dai Quan, you don’t need to worry about it, the emperor can’t do without him, I think it’s time to break up after sitting down and having two glasses of wine.”

After speaking, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and yawned, and asked, "Tired?"

Lin Daiyu looked at him, but said nothing.

Jia Hu sat down beside her, moved two big pillows behind her, leaned on the edge of the kang, stretched out her hand to pull Lin Daiyu into her arms, dragged her to her chest, and gently pressed her head.

Lin Daiyu closed her eyes and rested her head on Jia Hu's chest. While enjoying it, she said, "The technique is very skillful. I'll help Hu Po some times."

Jia Hu smiled: "You treat me like a street vendor on a bridge."

Lin Daiyu suppressed a smile and said: "Zijuan has been with the old lady for more than ten years, and her skills are not as good as yours."

Jia Hu chuckled: "This is called talent."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and laughed, and then said: "You go to Tianqiao to set up a street stall, and the business must be very good. Maybe you can earn a few more taels of silver with your status as Ning Guogong."

Jia Hu laughed again: "As long as I take good care of you, a little rich woman, I will have everything."

Lin Daiyu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jia Hu: "Every day is pure nonsense."

Jia Hu: "Okay, okay. I won't say anything. How is it? Feel comfortable."

Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes a few times and said, "Your hands are a bit strong, you need to practice more."

Jia Hu smiled: "I still need to ask my sister to help me."

Lin Daiyu burst out laughing: "That depends on whether I'm happy or not."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the window, and then Amber's voice came: "Second Master, there is a message from the front, saying that Master Xiang sent someone to invite Second Master to come over."

Hearing this, even Lin Daiyu felt strange, and asked: "It's a big festival, and it's snowing so much, why do you have to be invited over?"

Jia Hu was taken aback, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know, maybe something happened somewhere."

Lin Daiyu sat up straight: "Then go quickly."

Jia Hu: "Yeah. Wait until I come back for dinner!" After speaking, he got up and went out.
