My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 198 The greatest grace

Hearing the quarrel in the distance, everyone was slightly surprised. What day is it today? Most of the noble circles in Shenjing are gathered here. Who dares to quarrel at this time?

Who can afford to disturb the noble people?

Everyone looked at Jia Mu, and Jia Mu also felt a little hot on her face. You must know that this is her territory.

She felt that her old face was a little embarrassed, and her face darkened: "Here comes someone!"

"The slave is here!" A woman quickly stood up from the door.

Mother Jia pointed to the door and said, "Go and see right away who is arguing outside?"

The mother-in-law quickly took the order and hurried away.

Soon, the mother-in-law came back with a strange look on her face and said: "To answer the old lady's question, those people arguing outside are...men from various governments.

Just now, when the slave went there, he saw Master Niu from the Duke of Zhen's Mansion and Master Shi from the Duke of Repair's Mansion preparing to go to the martial arts field to fuck the guys.

The masters from other houses were making noises from the sidelines.

The slave didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurried back to report. "

"what?"

All the wives, madams and ladies in Rongqing Hall were stunned.

What's happening here?

Niu Jizong and Shi Guangzhu were going to the martial arts arena to fight, while the rest of the group was standing around making noises. What was going on?

The young concubine of the Beijing Palace asked nervously: "Three ancestors, what is this situation? Why are we about to start a fight?

Should we go over there quickly and try to persuade him? We can't let them really fight! "

"It's out of the way!"

After hearing the commotion caused by the gentlemen of various governments, Jia Mu, who was still a little nervous at first, relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair in a relaxed posture.

On the side, Princess Nan'an and Princess Beijing also picked up their teacups and slowly began to taste the tea.

Seeing that the girls were a little confused, Jia Mu smiled and explained: "You are still young and don't understand the virtues of the gentlemen in each government.

When young men are young, none of them came from a military career. It is common for them to get into trouble if they disagree with each other.

It would be weird if one day they just made a noise but didn't take action.

I remember that when I first married into Rong Guofu and the old man was still here, I would often do this.

Is there ever a time when you don’t get a bruise and a swollen face?

That is to say, in the past ten years or so, our governments have rarely interacted with each other, and you have never seen them.

It’s okay… It’s not surprising if you’ve seen this kind of thing too often. "

Listening to Jia Mu's words, the young ladies and young ladies from each mansion all looked at each other.

None of them expected that the princes, dukes, and marquises who were so majestic in front of outsiders would be so indifferent in private.

Isn't fighting in private something only green-skinned scoundrels do?

Concubine Beijing also said calmly: "The girl from the Jia family is right. Go over there and pay attention. Just come back and report later. I want to see who loses today."

The mother-in-law couldn't help but glance at Jia Mu, who laughed and scolded: "What do you think this old woman is doing...didn't you hear what Concubine Beijing said?"

"Here!"

The mother-in-law didn't dare to neglect and trotted all the way.

When the mother-in-law left, the three old ladies looked at each other and smiled. Concubine Nan'an suddenly slapped her forehead: "By the way... you look at us. We are just talking. You didn't even look at the protagonist today. Where is this?" It works.

Sister Jia, why don't you hurry up and call today's bride out for everyone to take a look at? "

"Since the two old sisters want to see it, I will have Tanchun girl come over."

Jia Mu smiled and gave a few instructions to the mandarin duck next to her. After a while, Tanchun arrived at Rongqing Hall accompanied by her two maids, Shishu and Cuimo.

Today, Tanchun is wearing a bright red and blue short coat and horse skirt. The clothes are embroidered with exquisite patterns, sparkling in the sun.

Her black hair was tied back and inlaid with a gorgeous golden hairpin. There is no hair tie or bun on the head, it is simply combed into an exquisite bun. Especially her clear and bright eyes are simply unforgettable.

Concubine Nan'an and Concubine Beijing were both amazed when they saw Tan Chun, who had slender shoulders, slender waist, long figure, duck-oval face, handsome eyes and trimmed eyebrows.

As soon as Tan Chun arrived at Rongqing Hall, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she, who had always looked generous, lowered her head in shame.

She walked slowly to the three old people and bowed and saluted: "Tan Chun has met the three old ancestors. I wish them good fortune and good health!"

Princess Nan'an smiled and said: "Now I finally understand why Uncle Dingyuan went to such great lengths to accept this girl even if he did not hesitate to entertain all his relatives and friends. I would have to do the same thing."

Look at it... this girl is virtuous and capable at first glance. If I had seen this girl a few months earlier, I would have asked my grandson to come to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage and take this girl as his concubine. "

Not far away, Princess Beijing covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Ancestor, don't say this in front of Uncle Dingyuan, otherwise the beautiful girl he worked so hard to get will be kidnapped by you. , you have to fall out with us."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Faced with everyone's teasing, Tanchun, who had always been generous and generous, lowered his head in shame and dared not speak.

Just when everyone was laughing happily, the woman who went to inquire about the news came back. She was fine when she went, but she was limping a little when walking.

As soon as they entered the hall, the mother-in-law said with a mournful face: "To report to the three old ladies, when I was ordered to go to the martial arts field to inquire about the news, I was stopped by the soldiers outside.

The servant said that she was ordered by three old ladies to check on the situation of several masters, but was scolded by the soldiers and came back.

The soldier also said... Uncle Dingyuan just issued a military order, no one is allowed to investigate, and violators will be punished for spying on military intelligence. The slave said a few words and was kicked.

Old lady, you have to make the decision for me! "

Looking at the aggrieved mother-in-law, Jia Mu just said lightly: "Since you guys don't want others to know, you have your reasons, so we women shouldn't pry too much."

"That's true." Concubine Nan'an also agreed: "When men discuss military and state affairs, we women should not inquire about it. This is originally our fault."

Seeing that two old ladies in succession had the same meaning, the old lady who originally expected several old ladies to make the decision for herself was a little dumbfounded.

She was also a discerning person, knowing that if she continued to pester Jia Mu, she would only make people feel disgusted, so she could only retreat in a dignified manner.

After the mother-in-law retreated, Jia Mu had no choice but to say: "It's all because of my inability to discipline the two old sisters. Since the death of Mr. Guo, the Rongguo Mansion has become less relaxed. There is no more Mr. Guo." The strict prohibition style of the time.”

Concubine Nan'an also sighed lightly and patted Jia Mu's hand: "Sister, don't blame me for being outspoken. They all say that the country should be governed first by the family.

In recent years, the Rongguo Mansion has really slacked off. In the huge mansion, there is not even a single man who can hold up the scene.

How can this continue? "

Concubine Beijing also said: "But it's better now. Sister, you have found a good son-in-law. I think this boy is also a filial son. Didn't the former one help you punish the naughty slave and recover the child?" Corrupt money?"

It was okay if Princess Beijing didn't say it, but once she said it, Jia Mu suddenly felt ashamed.

He had actually been deceived by a dowry maid and two children for so many years, and almost emptied both Ningrong and Ningrong mansions. If Jia Yu hadn't taken action in time, it wouldn't be long before all the young and old in Rongguo mansion would have to go to the streets to beg for food. .

In fact, it was not just Jia Mu. Faced with the looks of surprise, sympathy, or gloating from the noble ladies around her, all the ladies and ladies in the Rongguo Mansion couldn't help but feel their faces burning.

It's embarrassing... It's really embarrassing, and it's embarrassing in front of the most noble female family members of Daxia.

Don't think that just because all the female relatives of Daxia's top nobles are here, they must be in harmony.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances and grievances. After the incident at Tiewan Mountain, cracks appeared among the four princes and eight princes who were originally close to each other, and some even stopped communicating.

Today, although all the governments are gathered together again, the women do not mind being stabbed a little if it has nothing to do with elegance.

Just when Jia Mu and the female relatives of Rong Ningrong's second house felt a little embarrassed on their faces, a woman quickly walked up to Jia Mu and whispered: "Old lady...an angel has come to the palace, saying that it is It’s time to declare a decree.”

"Oh……"

Jia Mu immediately stood up and said, "Hurry up...hurry up and put the incense table on the table to welcome the angel."

Yuan Chun reminded from the side: "Ancestor, we still have to inform the masters at Rongxi Hall."

"That's right... Amber, go to Rongxi Hall immediately to inform Brother Yu and Master Zheng."

"Old lady, no need... someone just went to report it."

"That's good." Mother Jia felt relieved when she heard that someone had already informed her.

When Jia Mu, Princess Nan'an, Princess Beijing and all the female relatives left the Rongqing Hall, Jia Yu and his party also rushed over from the Rongxi Hall.

The men and women of the nobles, together with the maids and servants, immediately crowded the huge front yard.

It was at this time that all the female family members saw the men from each house. What surprised everyone was that many of the men from each house still had footprints on their bodies, and some even had some bruises on their faces.

Seeing Jia Yu and his party coming out, Jia's mother quickly called Jia Yu over: "Brother Yu, come here quickly, I will introduce you to some noble people.

This Concubine Nan'an from Nan'an County Prince's Palace, this Concubine Beijing from Beijing Palace, this is the head wife of Zhenguo Palace, this is..."

After being introduced along the way, Jia Yu was able to meet these top-notch female family members of Great Xia face to face.

He did not neglect, but greeted them one by one according to etiquette.

It was also the first time for Princess Nan'an, Princess Beijing and others to see Uncle Dingyuan, who was the most famous in the capital these days.

Looking at the tall and handsome Jia Yu, many people felt secretly sad.

Such a young and handsome man actually gave Rongguo Mansion an advantage. What did Rongguo Mansion have?

Wasn't it just relying on a granddaughter who had been in the palace for ten years and yet had not gained the emperor's favor to win over Jia Yu?

Uncle Dingyuan is the same. He actually likes a woman who is five or six years older than him. I really don't know what he thinks.

However, no matter what these women thought, they still maintained the most elegant smile on their faces and greeted Jia Yu with the most standard etiquette.

At this time, Princess Beijing saw that her husband's face was actually swollen. In her desperation, she didn't care about the public gaze and walked over quickly and said urgently: "Your Majesty, why did your face become so swollen when you didn't see it for a while?" Winning the lottery? What happened?"

Although Beijing Wang Shuirong's face was swollen, he was obviously in a good mood.

He smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay... This is a punch from Xie Jing of Dingcheng Hou Mansion.

However, he didn't get any favors and was kicked by me. "

Princess Beijing asked in confusion: "You are so good, why did you start fighting?"

Shui Rong waved his hand: "You don't know, we have to fight this fight. If we don't fight, we won't be able to reach an agreement at all."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

“I’ll tell you this later, I can only say that today’s fight was worth it.

I bought a thousand shares for our Prince's Palace in Beijing. With these shares, our Palace can earn at least this amount more every year. "

At the end of the sentence, Shui Rong quietly extended an index finger towards Princess Beijing.

Ladies and wives from various houses also gathered around their men or sons to ask.

Soon, word about the wool began to spread, and everyone finally understood why the men from different houses were fighting just now. Their feelings were all about money.

Just when everyone was gathering together and whispering, a servant came to report that the incense table had been set up.

It was only then that Shanshan, the eunuch who came to announce the decree, came over.

I saw him walking to the incense table, unfolding the imperial edict and saying in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty's decree, everyone is here to hear it!"

Following the eunuch's voice, everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor."

"The Emperor of Heaven and Earth...restrictions:

Although I have lived in the palace for a long time, I have also heard that Tanchun, the daughter of Jia Zheng, the Duke of Rongguo, is beautiful, intelligent, gentle and virtuous.

Now I am accepted as a noble concubine by Dingyuan Bo Jiayu. I am deeply pleased after hearing this. Now I specially designate Tanchun as a pleasant person and rank in the fifth rank to show her virtue.

He was also granted permission to enter the mansion through the middle gate and enter the clan genealogy.

This is the favor of the court and the glory of the family.

I hope you will do your best and appreciate this! "

The surrounding air became silent, and many people even forgot to express gratitude, but immediately turned their attention to Tanchun who was kneeling among the crowd.

Could it be that the emperor drank too much today? Why did he suddenly give such a favor?

What does this imperial edict mean?

Let's put it this way, with this imperial edict, although Tanchun is still a concubine in name, her actual status is almost the same as that of a common wife.

You must know that the status of concubines in this era was very low. The custom at weddings and funerals at that time was that the wife could go in and out through the front door of the house when she returned to the house or died, but concubines were not allowed to go in and out through the front door when they returned to the house or died.

And under normal circumstances, concubines basically have no chance of obtaining imperial orders.

Today, Tanchun actually has a royal decree. Although it is only a fifth-grade pleasant person, no matter what grade it is, the royal decree is the royal decree. This also means that from now on, when Tanchun and the ladies from other houses get together, they can stand upright. The most important thing is to treat them like sisters.

And not only that, the greatest grace given to Tanchun in the imperial edict is that her name is allowed to be written into the family tree, which means that she can enter the ancestral grave after death.

For a concubine, this is the greatest grace.
