Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Yuanchun gave instructions to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu acted mischievously, causing all the Jia family members to laugh.

Jia Baoyu relies on Yuanchun.

After a while, the emperor's imperial edict for Jia She's promotion arrived.

Zhang Mingde held the imperial edict in his hand, and the clansmen from the Rong and Ning mansions, as well as Lady Jia, all knelt outside the gate of the Rongguo Mansion.

Zhang Mingde recited Jia She's achievements, and Jia She was successfully promoted to Duke.

The clansmen from the Rong and Ning mansions knelt on the ground, enjoying this rare moment of glory.

The faces of the Rongfu clan members were full of pride, and this pride was brought by Jia She.

In the past, Jia She was just a lucky favorite of the emperor.

At this moment, Jia She's achievements are real, even greater than Jia Daishan's.

What an achievement it is to conquer a country?
This is more exciting than conquering a country.

The Jia family members knelt on the ground and listened to Zhang Mingde reciting Jia She's achievements. After he finished reciting, Zhang Mingde handed the imperial edict in his hand to Jia Daixiu.

This made Lady Jia's wish come to nothing.

She should have been the one to receive the imperial edict, but she made several mistakes and became the scapegoat.

As a criminal, he is not qualified to represent the Rong and Ning mansions, let alone receive the emperor's edict.

"I thank your majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When one sound falls, a hundred sounds arise.

The members of the Jia family followed Jia Daixiu and bowed to express their gratitude. A look of satisfaction flashed in Zhang Mingde's eyes.

Jia Daixiu took the imperial edict from Zhang Mingde.

Zhang Mingde spoke of Jia She's situation with a gentle expression.

"Marquis Rong has made great contributions. His Majesty is currently hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain him. I still have an imperial decree to issue, so I will leave first."

Zhang Mingde left.

At the same time, a young eunuch came out and asked Lady Jia for the copied Buddhist scriptures in front of all the Jia family members.

Grandmother Jia asked someone to bring the Buddhist scriptures she had copied.

The young eunuch began to check, and when he finished, he nodded with satisfaction.

"The Queen Mother is very satisfied with your copying, Madam. I hope you can keep up the good work."

Grandmother Jia pulled the corners of her mouth together, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam."

The young eunuch nodded and left. Grandmother Jia breathed a sigh of relief. What a joke! She had already copied enough, and yet she was asked to keep going.

"Sister-in-law, my nephew Xie has made such a great contribution. You must not go against him in the future."

Jia Daixiu held the imperial edict in his hands and looked at Grandmother Jia with smugness.

A feeling of disgust flashed through Lady Jia's heart. She used you to remind her?

The one who made the great contribution was her son, why are you showing off?
"understood."

The shrewd Grandmother Jia nodded slightly and responded.

Jia Daixiu brought his clansmen, holding the imperial edict with satisfaction, to the clan temple, prayed to their ancestors, and informed the Rong and Ning mansions of the achievements of Jia She, their ancestor.

Grandmother Jia returned to Rongguo Mansion.

All the people in Rongguo Mansion gathered in Lady Jia's room.

Unlike Yuanchun and Baoyu who were at ease, Yuanyang and Xue Qin were having a hard time.

But there is a difference here. The reason why Xue Qin felt uncomfortable was that she felt suffocated when living with her enemy.

The mandarin duck looked at its old master, feeling uncomfortable and not knowing how to get along with him.

In the imperial palace, the emperor held a banquet for his ministers. Jia She, who was a meritorious official, ate and drank very happily. It was not until the emperor's banquet was over that Jia She was called away alone.

Jia She, who was a little drunk, was supported by someone.

"Little Fourth, I have done such a great deed, can you let me take a rest?"

As soon as he stepped into the emperor's study, Jia She shouted a name that he shouldn't have called.

A nickname for the emperor when he was a prince.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and when he looked again, he saw that Jia She looked drunk.

"You are really drunk."

Zhang Mingde, who was supporting Jia She, felt his heart skip a beat. Why was Marquis Rong doing such a stupid thing at this time?
His Majesty has become the emperor, how can you call him by his former nickname, "Little Fourth"?

It's really floating.

"Put him down."

As soon as Zhang Mingde loosened his grip, Jia She fell to the ground with a thud, followed by a loud groan.

Jia She, whose stomach was churning, started to vomit.

The smell of vomit filled the emperor's study. Zhang Mingde wanted to cry but had no tears, his face full of regret.

"How could you, Lord Rong?"

As soon as Zhang Mingde started to criticize, he was stopped by the emperor.

"Clean it up, and have someone bring him a bowl of sobering soup."

The emperor was not very angry, he just kicked Jia She.

Jia She was drunk and still muttering that he wanted to have a long rest and asked the emperor not to look for him if he had any problems.

He wants to live the life of a master at home.

Listening to Jia She's murmurs, the emperor raised his eyebrows again. It was the first time he saw someone who was unwilling to be an official and only wanted to be a master at home.

When the empress arrived, the emperor was reading a book and Jia She was lying on the carpet in the emperor's study, snoring loudly.

From time to time, he would say things like "Damn early morning court" and "Damn early morning wake up".

This made the queen, who had rushed over to try to stop the fight, couldn't help laughing.

"Duke Rong is really interesting."

When the emperor heard the queen's voice, he took his eyes off the book and glanced at Jia She lying on the ground.

"Why is the queen here?"

The eldest daughter of the Zhang family, who was the queen, bowed to the emperor.

"I heard about what happened here, so I came to take a look."

The emperor nodded slightly.

"Lord En was just talking after drinking. I am not angry. The Queen is thoughtful."

The emperor pulled the queen toward him.

"Do you think I should give Marquis En a holiday?"

Empress Zhang glanced at Jia She, who was still cursing the early court and getting up early in his sleep, and then nodded heavily.

"It's time to let go."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and hugged each other.

The emperor even wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one was around to kiss Empress Zhang.

Zhang Mingde came in with the sobering soup from the imperial kitchen. When he saw the emperor and the empress kissing, he quickly held his breath and turned away.

I was shouting out fatal words in my heart.

How come the queen and the emperor are so close to each other? Damn it, damn it.

The emperor and the empress separated, coughed twice, and then Zhang Mingde turned around.

"Why didn't you say hello when you came in?"

"The door is open, your majesty!"

Empress Zhang blushed.

"Hurry up and feed Lord En the hangover soup."

"Yes, madam."

Zhang Mingde fed Jia She the sobering soup. Madam Xing, Jia Lian, Yingchun, and Jia Cong, who was about to leave, were still waiting outside the palace gate.

"Send him out."

Being so drunk, he couldn't ask any questions.

Zhang Mingde understood and left.

The emperor and the empress were still affectionate. After sending everyone away, they started having a baby.

Jia She was carried onto the carriage. Mrs. Xing looked at the unconscious Jia She and kept thanking people.

Zhang Mingde, who seemed to have come back to life, quickly shook his head at Mrs. Xing.

"Marquis Rong. Oh, it shouldn't be Madam Duke. Madam Rong is too polite."

"I'll leave General Jia to you."

The sign hanging on the gate of Rongguo Mansion finally lived up to its name.

Jia She was still mumbling.

Mrs. Xing's eyes were filled with longing for the long-lost love. Yingchun reached out to check Jia She's breath.

"Don't cry, ma'am. Dad is not dead!"

Hearing Yingchun's words, Mrs. Xing suddenly laughed.

Jia Lian was also laughing while holding little Jia Cong.

"Maybe my wife should give me a brother."

Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing and suddenly spoke. When Mrs. Xing heard what Jia Lian said, she was startled at first, but then the look in her eyes turned into joy.

"Lian'er, do you want a younger brother?"

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Lian with surprise, and Jia Lian nodded.

"My wife has been with my father and taken care of the family for many years. It's time for her to have a child."

Mrs. Xing looked at her belly. Jia Lian wanted a younger brother, but she couldn't have one. Mrs. Xing hugged Jia Lian, and Jia Lian's body froze, feeling Mrs. Xing's tears falling on his face.

Jia Lian's body relaxed.

"I have you, Yingchun, and Cong'er, that's enough."

"As for my brother."

Mrs. Xing let go of Jia Lian and shook her head while crying.

“My body, I know it.”

Mrs. Xing smiled at Jia Lian. It was a pity after all not having a child of her own.

Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing's belly and remembered the rumors at home that Mrs. Xing was unable to have children.

When he looked at Mrs. Xing again, Jia Lian was completely confirmed.

The rumors at home were not groundless. Perhaps my stepmother really could not have children.

"Has the madam seen a doctor?"

Mrs. Xing nodded woodenly.

"Lian'er, don't worry about it."

Mrs. Xing reached out and touched Jia Lian's head, and Jia Lian took a deep breath.

"Doctor Chen in the Imperial Hospital specializes in gynecology. If you are willing, I can help find my second uncle."

"My second uncle has an old relationship with Doctor Chen. Maybe he can invite Doctor Chen to come."

The imperial doctors in the palace are very valuable. Except for some who specialize in treating high-ranking officials and nobles, the rest are all treasured in the palace.

Doctor Chen, as Jia Lian mentioned, was always on call for the concubines at the Imperial Medical Bureau. If one wanted to ask him to treat a disease, one had to wait until he was on leave or receive a special pardon from the palace.

Otherwise, ordinary people would never see it.

"No need, Lian'er."

Mrs. Xing was very clear about her situation. Without that bowl of medicine, she would never have been able to marry into the Rongguo Mansion.

Now that Jia Lian has this feeling, it means that he has feelings for his wife.

As long as I treat this stepson well, he will have someone to rely on when I get old.

"The master is back!"

"The master is back!!"

The carriage that Jia She was riding in stopped at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. The old gatekeeper saw it with sharp eyes and slapped him in the face.

"The master is back, why don't you go to the mansion and announce the good news?"

When the stupid servant came to his senses, he had already been snatched away by the maids and servants who had been waiting at the door, ready to compete for the first prize.

The old doorman waited in disappointment as the young doorman who was to take over his job went to the carriage.

Mrs. Xing was shouting.

"Someone come and help the master, he is drunk."

Rongqing Hall,
The maids and servants rushed to Lady Jia's Rongqing Hall to report the good news.

"Madam, the master is back."

The servant who won the first prize was a little maid.

"reward!"

Grandmother Jia waved her hand and gave the little maid a reward.

The little girl stood up happily.

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!"

The little girl went down with the reward.

"When will the boss come?"

Grandmother Jia was still waiting for Jia She to come, so the maid she sent to invite Jia She came back and bowed to Grandmother Jia.

"The master is drunk, old lady."

"Drunk?"

Jia's mother, who was still waiting for Jia She to come and see him, suddenly became unhappy when she heard that Jia She was drunk.

"Go down!"

Feeling disappointed, Grandmother Jia waved her hand and asked the servant to leave.

The old woman didn't dare to watch Lady Jia leave.

Yuanchun and other young people who were waiting for Jia She in Jia Mu's room held their breath.

"Let's all go back first. We'll invite the master over in the evening so that we can celebrate together."

Grandmother Jia gave instructions to the servants, and Yuanchun and the others also breathed a sigh of relief and left.

This continued until the sun set in the west, and Jia She woke up with his head covered.

Madam Xing, Jia Lian and other people from the main house were guarding Jia She's bed.

Jia She sat up from the bed in a daze.

"Master, you are awake"

Mrs. Xing sat by the bed, holding Jia She's hand, her eyes full of longing.

Jia She frowned.

"What time is it now?"

Jia She looked at Mrs. Xing and asked.

Mrs. Xing glanced at the sky outside.

"It should be Chenshi."

"The old lady has set up a celebration banquet in Rongqing Hall. Please come over, Master."

Mrs. Xing considerately brought the shoes to Jia She and put them on him personally.

"The old lady is quite nice today, sir."

Mrs. Xing told Jia She about the things that Jia's grandmother was in charge of at home alone, and Jia She nodded slightly.

"Where's my sister's husband?"

"Min'er and Ruhai came back earlier than us. They just sent someone over to say hello. I guess they've already left."

"In addition to my sister and brother-in-law, Uncle Jing and Sister-in-law Jing from the East Mansion were also invited."

"Does the master want to go?"

This was a celebration banquet for Jia She, and Jia She nodded slightly.

"I remember that I seemed to be summoned here by the emperor"

"I was called."

"But he was helped out. The master was drunk at His Majesty's place, so he was carried over."

Jia She recalled his drinking habits in his previous life. He didn't drink because he liked to say offensive things after drinking.

"I didn't say anything nonsense, did I?"

Jia She became concerned, and Jia Lian came in with a fruit.

It had been less than a year since Jia She went to war, and Jia Lian had grown very fast during that year.

"He didn't say anything, but kept mumbling something like, "Little Fourth, I've done such a great deed, can I take a rest now?"

After Jia Lian came back, he was invited out by the playboys.

During the banquet, the little prince was released, who was rarely seen. He told Jia Lian that Jia She had called the emperor by another name in the palace.

Jia She was stunned.

That sounds like what he would say.

Jia She began to feel annoyed.

Jia Lian looked at Jia She who was beginning to feel annoyed and couldn't help wanting to laugh at his father for talking nonsense.

Can the emperor's nickname be said?
"Besides this, Dad, you also kept cursing the morning court, saying that making people get up early is the most vicious thing, and even asked the emperor if he could cancel the morning court."

"Otherwise, you will no longer be an official, Dad."

Jia She's face was wrinkled.

“Who knows about this?”

"Your Majesty, Dad, you and me, and all the dandies in Shenjing."

Jia She took the tea bowl from Mrs. Xing, took a sip, and spat out the tea in his mouth.

He is the Marquis Jia En, a man of great reputation throughout his life.

Jia She lay back on the bed.

"Woo~"

Jia She was almost losing face and estimated that a minister would impeach him at the morning court tomorrow.

"Stop crying, Dad!"

Jia She didn't cry, he just lay on the bed and sobbed for a while.

"It's just drunken talk, don't take it seriously."

"But Dad, you can't drink this wine anymore."

After living a lifetime, he began to be educated by his own son.

Jia She was even more embarrassed.

"Did your majesty punish me?"

Jia She, who knew who the emperor was, couldn't help but ask.

Jia Lian shook his head again.

"No, I just asked someone to give you some hangover soup."

Jia She heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that he was kind enough to not punish him. Otherwise, who would dare to work for the emperor in the future? (End of this chapter)
