From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 46 Playing with Mandarin Ducks

Jia Wei followed Lin Zhixiao and entered Rong Xi Tang without any obstruction.

Jia Wei glanced at the layout of the main hall and then stopped at Dai Quan, who was sitting in front of the large red sandalwood carved dragon table. He was looking up at the wooden couplet:
"The pearls on the throne shine like the sun and the moon, and the brocade in front of the hall is as bright as the clouds and mist."

The internal minister of the Daming Palace was still dressed in a brocade robe and looked arrogant, surrounded by guards holding swords.

Dai Quan turned around when he heard the footsteps, and greeted Jia Wei with a smile. He walked to the hall and stood facing south: "Jia Wei, please accept the order."

Dai Quan did not disobey the imperial edict, so it seemed to be an oral order.

"Your servant Jia Wei accepts your order."

The Jia family had often received imperial edicts in the early years, and were very familiar with the procedures. Jia Zheng had already ordered people to set up an incense table.

"According to the order of His Majesty, Jia Wei is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great contributions in guarding the inner court. I am very pleased with him, and I have given him the title of deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and granted him the Feiyu uniform and the embroidered spring sword. I decree this."

Jia Wei thanked him quickly and took the tray handed to him by the inner guard. He glanced at the pattern of dragon head, fish body and flying wings on the flying fish suit before handing it to the person next to him.

Jia Lian stuffed a silver ingot into his hand. Jia Wei understood what he meant and quickly took it. During the conversation, he secretly gave it to Dai Quan.

"Minister, thank you for coming here. Could you please give me some tea?"

Dai Quan gladly accepted it. It was as rare for an eunuch not to love money as it was for a man not to be lustful. And the friendship would deepen between the two.

Dai Quan smiled, looked around and whispered, "The emperor is in need of people right now. As long as Mr. Jia works hard, he will be favored by the emperor... Especially during the hunting at Tiewang Mountain, you need to perform well. The emperor will definitely reward you again."

Jia Wei's expression changed, "Thank you for the reminder, Minister."

Dai Quan said: "I have to go back to the palace to report, so I'll take my leave now."

Jia Wei nodded, and he and Jia Zheng and others saw Dai Quan out of the house.

Watching Dai Quan leave with the inner guards, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Wei and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Now my Jia family has also produced a young talent?
Having just passed the military examination and been awarded the rank of third-grade military officer, and also been given the title of Jinyiwei, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jia Wei was favored by the emperor and had a promising future.

It really has the style of Ningguo!

Jia Wei bowed slightly: "Master Zheng."

Jia Zheng is just pedantic and incompetent, but compared with Jia Zhen, Jia She and others, he is simply a great philanthropist.

After a round of greetings, Grandmother Jia sent someone to invite him again, and Jia Wei followed the old woman into Rongqing Hall.

Grandmother Jia already knew the content of the decree, and when she saw a tall figure walking into the room, she felt mixed emotions for a moment. Of course, she was mostly happy.

Although the Jia family still appears to be prosperous and peaceful, as the helmsman, Grandmother Jia also knows many problems, the biggest of which is that they are far away from the center of the court.

If the Jia family had a capable man, she would not have let Wang Ziteng serve as the governor of the Beijing camp.

Now it seems that Jia Wei's appearance can fill this gap...

"Brother Yu is here, you can have your meal now."

"Replying to the old lady, I just used it in the East Mansion."

Listening to Jia Wei's stern answer, Grandmother Jia could only feel helpless in her heart.

Fortunately, there is one fact that cannot be changed: this young talent is named Jia.

After talking for a while, Jia's mother said to the maid beside her: "Brother Yu is here, call Baoyu and the others over to play."

Jia Wei didn't want to just stand there and stare at Lady Jia, it was a complete waste of time. In comparison, he wanted to get around those beautiful girls and took the opportunity to escape.

He stood up and said, "Sisters, I'm too lazy to go again, why don't I go over there."

Grandmother Jia was also surprised by Jia Wei's proactive approach to affection, and she called Yuanyang with a smile: "Yuanyang, take Wei away." Jia Wei hurried out of Grandmother Jia's courtyard and followed Yuanyang.

While passing through the hall, Jia Wei was chatting with Yuanyang while looking at the buildings in Rong Mansion. Somehow his eyes suddenly fell on Yuanyang in front of him and he could not move them away.

Yuanyang is now seventeen or eighteen years old and has grown up. Her back is graceful, the back of her neck is snow-white, and the raised curved hip line, especially, is very clear in the sun.

This was much more touching than the girls in Jia Wei's courtyard. And there was no concept of "male concentration" in that era, so Jia Wei admired her boldly.

When Yuanyang was passing through the hall, she turned back to remind Jia Wei to pay attention to the steps. Suddenly she caught his gaze and immediately understood.

Yuanyang blushed, turned around and continued walking, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

She seemed to be able to feel Jia Wei's gaze, and her steps became a little awkward.

Jia Wei laughed awkwardly, and hurriedly chased after her and said, "Sister, your figure was so attractive that I lost my composure for a moment..."

Yuanyang's cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at Jia Wei with her beautiful eyes. This was not an explanation or an apology, it was clearly a teasing!
"What is Master Erye saying?" After saying that, Yuanyang quickly turned around and ran away.

Jia Wei felt that there was no one around, so he had the idea of ​​picking up girls. He directly held Yuanyang's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, why are you still angry?"

Yuanyang reacted violently as if she had been scalded by boiling water. She said coquettishly, "You are courting death!"

Yuanyang shook her hand vigorously, but failed to shake off Jia Wei's hand. Instead, Jia Wei squeezed her soft little hand again. Yuanyang looked around in panic, but when she saw no one was around, she still dared not breathe.

"Let go! Stop making trouble, Master Er..."

"You just scolded me." Jia Wei pulled Yuanyang closer and said.

"Let go." Yuanyang looked up at Jia Wei, her eyes full of panic.

"You scolded me." Jia Wei persisted and grabbed her other hand.

Yuanyang flattered her, "It was my fault. Second Master, please forgive me this time. If someone sees me..."

"So what if I saw you? I'll go find the old lady and ask for you. It just so happens that my courtyard is in need of a maid. I like you very much if you serve me. When I get married, I'll make you my concubine. What do you think, Sister Yuanyang?"

Hearing Jia Wei's bold and explicit words, Yuanyang was stunned at first, and then immediately said: "I will stay with the old lady and not go anywhere!"

Jia Wei said with a smile: "If I let you go, don't run away again, or I will hold you and see how you run."

Jia Wei knew when to stop, so he let go.

Yuanyang rolled her eyes at him, and her impression of Jia Wei became more vivid. He looked like a decent young man, but he also liked to flirt with girls. He passed the military examination at a young age and was assigned to work for the emperor, but he was not steady and was very erratic.

But for some reason, Yuanyang felt only shy and angry, but not disgusted. Maybe Jia Wei's words were sincere, not just nonsense...

Yuanyang turned around and continued walking with Jia Wei, at a fast pace. Jia Wei coughed behind him, and Yuanyang understood and slowed down again, waiting for Jia Wei.

Jia Wei walked side by side with him and continued the previous topic: "Although the old lady is still strong, my sister is not young anymore. We must have hope and find a way out, right?"

Yuanyang turned her face to the other side, and Jia Wei looked at her profile. She was very thin, with her carotid artery prominent and her jawline very clear. Her profile, ears and neck were all rosy, making people want to kiss her.

"I'll just stay with the old lady..."

"Could it be that my sister has someone in her heart?"

Yuanyang turned around and was about to say something, but Jia Wei said again: "Impossible, there is no better master than me in this mansion."

She said nothing because it was the truth and could not be refuted.

"If you don't want to, then I'll go directly to the old lady. She's too busy trying to curry favor with me now, so she'll definitely be willing to give me a girl..."

The mandarin duck spat and ran away quickly.
