My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 121 Baochai Enters Beijing
"Then... let's see."

Jia Yu opened the brocade box and found a picture of calligraphy inside.

Carefully opening the words, I found that there were four big characters "A Match Made in Heaven" solemnly written on it, and there was the seal of Emperor Changping on the left side of the text.

"hiss……"

There was a gasp of cold air all around.

There was something wrong with the way everyone looked at Jia Yu. Could this guy be the illegitimate son of Emperor Changping?

It was enough to give him the marriage in person, but now he actually gave him the inscription in person.

It can be said that this calligraphy is basically a gold medal to avoid death. As long as he does not commit a heinous crime such as treason, he basically does not have to worry about the emperor turning against him in this life.

However, only Jia Yu among the people present understood that this calligraphy was actually Emperor Changping's reward for him having to talk about Qingyun in the Imperial Study Room a few days ago.

Emperor Changping told him in this way, you chose to be a lonely minister for me, I see all your efforts, and I will not let a loyal minister suffer a bad end.

Carefully putting away the calligraphy, Jia Yu solemnly said to Dai Quan: "Manager Dai, please report back to Your Majesty. I am very grateful for Your Majesty's great love for me, and I will do my best to repay Your Majesty's great kindness.

Now, please invite your father-in-law to sit down and have a glass of water. "

Dai Quan laughed in a slightly sharp voice: "Of course our family will drink Mr. Jia's wedding wine, otherwise wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Jia Yu brought Dai Quan to the chief, sat at the same table with Feng Tang and others, and drank several glasses of wine with him.

While Jia Yu was drinking with Dai Quan, a luxurious car arrived at Ningrong Street surrounded by dozens of servants and ladies.

Normal days would be fine, but Ningrong Street today was too crowded. Even with dozens of servants, women and maids protecting it, the cart could only move with difficulty.

There were two women sitting in the cart.

The elder was a woman in her thirties, wearing a golden tight-fitting robe embroidered with a five-clawed phoenix, and her skin was as fair as the full moon.

The other one was probably her daughter, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a moon-white embroidered tights, with a trace of willow thread pinched out around her waist.

His eyes were soft and gentle, giving off a hazy and gentle aura.

The deep and gentle look between his eyebrows exudes a hint of knowingness and a catchy temperament.

These two people were none other than Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan's family who had to take refuge in Beijing with their son because of a murder committed in Jinling.

Because there were too many people on the street, Aunt Xue once tried to open the curtain and look out, but as soon as she looked out, she was frightened by the sea of ​​people outside.

Aunt Xue was so frightened that she quickly closed the curtain, and then kept patting her chest: "My son, how come there are so many people?"

At this time, the curtain was opened, and a big head came to the window and said in an excited tone: "Mother...sister...happy event...happy event!"

The sudden movement startled Aunt Xue, who was originally frightened by the crowd outside. After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, she was so angry that she patted the big head.

"You bastard, whatever is good or bad will turn into a bad thing when it happens to you!"

That big head was none other than Aunt Xue's son, Xue Pan.

Seeing her brother retracting his head in disbelief, Baochai on the side pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Mom...how can anyone say that about my son? My brother has done well all the way from Jinling to the capital, so why should you?" Talking about him in such a bad way." It's okay not to mention this. As soon as it was mentioned, Aunt Xue became very angry: "If this evildoer hadn't caused such a big trouble in Jinling, why would our family be in such a hurry? He ran to Shenjing and stayed under the fence.

As your brother, isn't it his duty to take care of you? "

Baochai held her mother's hand and persuaded: "Okay... Brother already knows that he was wrong. You have beaten and scolded him. You can't always hold on to your brother's fault, right?"

Aunt Xue sighed softly and held Baochai's little hand: "Daughter, if your brother was as sensible as you, my mother wouldn't be so worried."

Seeing his mother and sister talking to themselves and ignoring him, Xue Pan became anxious and pressed his big face against the window and shouted: "Mom, sister, don't you want to know why it's so lively today?"

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him angrily: "You can just say what you want, no one will stop you."

Xue Pan chuckled, lowered his voice and said: "Mother, you may not know yet. I just asked someone to inquire. Today, I am the married daughter of Rongguo Mansion, so it is so lively."

"Marry a daughter?"

Aunt Xue was slightly startled, and her mind quickly thought about the several girls of the right age in Rongguo Mansion.

He murmured to himself in confusion: "Who is getting married? Welcome the spring, explore the spring or cherish the spring?
No... Xichun is too young, not old enough to get married... Then it can only be Tanchun and Yingchun. Who is it? "

Seeing that Aunt Xue was in trouble, Xue Pan said with a proud smile: "Mom, you thought wrong this time. It's not the two girls you mentioned. It's your sister's biological daughter who is getting married."

"Sister's biological daughter?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was so frightened that she lost her voice and said, "It's Yuan Chun... How is this possible? Yuan Chun has been in the palace for ten years, how can he suddenly get married?"

Aunt Xue was really frightened. Of course she knew the purpose of her sister and brother-in-law in sending their daughter to the palace, which was to use their daughter to consolidate the Jia family's status.

If Yuanchun could be favored by the emperor and be lucky enough to give birth to a prince, the Jia family would become relatives of the emperor, and the Ningrong House could continue to be wealthy for decades.

Why are you suddenly getting married now?

Looking at his confused mother, Xue Pan smiled proudly, "I'm afraid you don't know, mother. I'll tell you, it's like this..."

Xue Pan recounted everything he had heard from hearsay to his mother and his sister, and finally said with some pride:

"My uncle and aunt were obsessed with joining the royal family, but in the end, they made their daughter suffer for ten years in vain. In the end, she had to marry a fourth-rank official."

Seeing her son's uncle gloating over his misfortune, Aunt Xue was so angry that she slapped him on the head again.

"You evildoer, your cousin suffered so much in the palace, it's okay if you don't feel bad, but you actually make fun of her, do you have any conscience?

Although your cousin is only married to a fourth-grade official, she is still an official after all, unlike you who are still a white woman. "

Xue Pan, whose head hurt, smiled and then stopped.

Baochai shook his head: "Mother, brother, don't underestimate my cousin's husband. My brother just said that our brother-in-law is the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division.

My daughter heard that this official position was a low one but one with great power. He had the responsibility of patrolling Shenjing to detect thieves, clearing streets and ditches and prisoners, and prohibiting fires. It could be said that the security of the entire Shenjing was under his jurisdiction.

It is not just ordinary people who can become this official. "
