I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 154: Emperor Yonglong summons: Treat Keqing well
This time when Lady Jia entered the palace, she first asked the Empress Dowager not to deprive Ningguo Mansion of its title.

The second is to pray and strive to allow Baoyu to inherit the title of Ningguo Mansion.

Soon, Lady Jia entered the palace and was summoned by the Empress Dowager.

According to her previous plan, Grandmother Jia cried and begged in front of the Empress Dowager.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager could not help but advise, "I have heard the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor discuss this matter."

"Originally it wasn't a big deal, but your East Palace has been making too much noise, and now the Imperial Censor is impeaching your East Palace."

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia's heart skipped a beat.

She knew in her heart that some rumors had probably spread about the murder between Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son.

After all, truth cannot be hidden.

They were a little late when they got there, and they were afraid that someone in the yard had already sneaked away.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother's heart tightened. When she was about to open her mouth to explain, she heard the Empress Dowager say:
"Therefore, the Emperor and His Majesty have discussed that you should find a reliable person to go to the East Palace."

"If not, I'm afraid it will be a joke later, and outsiders will laugh at it."

"You, just go back with peace of mind. The Emperor and the Emperor will make arrangements for your title in the East Palace."

Grandmother Jia was extremely suspicious, but she had no choice but to thank the emperor and leave.

Along the way, Grandmother Jia was wondering what arrangements the Emperor and the Retired Emperor had made.

You can't send an outsider to inherit the title of the East Palace, right? This is a bit too inappropriate.

But if she had to choose from among the young men of the Jia family, Grandmother Jia really couldn't think of anyone else who would be a suitable candidate.

Not long after, shortly after Lady Jia returned, she received the imperial decree from the palace.

In the imperial edict, the emperor first reprimanded the Jia family, saying that the children of the Jia family were incompetent and their performance in the assessment brought shame to their ancestors.

My original intention was to take back the title of the Jia family, but the Supreme Emperor remembered the hard work and great contributions of the Jia family's ancestors, and he should provide a blessing to the younger generations.

Finally, the retired emperor issued an edict, choosing Jia Cong to inherit the title of Ningguo Mansion, and to inherit the third-rank title of General Weilie, becoming the head of the Jia family.

After receiving the imperial edict and expressing gratitude, Jia Mu and the people in Rongguo Mansion all looked bewildered.

In the end, it was that little beast Jia Cong who inherited the title of East Palace?
And let him become the head of the Jia family?
Moreover, the inheritance of titles was originally a process of descending from generation to generation.

However, Jia Cong's title was not demoted and he still inherited Jia Zhen's title.

Jia Cong is the abandoned son of their Rongguo Mansion!

But the person who was expelled from the Jia family's clan is now coming back to become their clan leader?

How ridiculous is this? How can they feel?

……

At the same time, Jia Cong also received the imperial edict.

After receiving the order, Jia Cong was also confused.

I have clearly been removed from the Rongguo Mansion's genealogy and clan, but now I want to go back?

I don’t know what the emperor is up to?
Could it be a reward for me defeating the Qing Dynasty’s greatest archer and winning Caogu County for Daxia?
However, now that the imperial edict has been issued, this matter is inevitable.

Moreover, although he returned to the Jia family again this time, the meaning was different.

Because he was not returning to Rongguo Mansion, but Ningguo Mansion.

And now he has become the patriarch of the Jia family.

At Rongguo Mansion, even Lady Jia couldn't control him.

After all, he is now the patriarch of the Jia family.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, if they were to commit suicide, their property would eventually be confiscated.

In fact, in the end, he was not implicated.

His current situation was completely different from when he was in the Jia Mansion before.

In this case, there is nothing to say. Moreover, he got a title and a Duke's Mansion for free.

Why not?
However, after receiving the decree, one still has to go to the palace to express gratitude.

Soon, Jia Cong arrived at the palace and was led into the imperial study.

After meeting Emperor Yonglong, Emperor Yonglong gave him some instructions.

Finally, he dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids in the room and said only one sentence to Jia Cong: "Be kind to Keqing. If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible."

After leaving the palace, Jia Cong was still a little dazed.

It turned out that Emperor Yonglong had long known that Qin Keqing had married into the Ningguo Mansion.

It’s a pity that Jia Zhen, this LSP, is still thinking about having an affair every day. He is really asking for a good death!
Now that I think about it, the deaths of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong might have been caused by Emperor Yonglong.

Well, after I move into Ningguo Mansion, I won’t worship Qin Keqing as an ancestor, but at the very least, I will never let her suffer any grievances.

After Jia Cong returned home, Aunt Xue and her family had already rushed over to congratulate him.

At this time, Aunt Xue really regretted it.

I regret that I should have listened to Xue Pan earlier.

If she had agreed to marry Xue Baochai to Jia Cong some time ago, the engagement would probably have been completed by now.

As long as she agrees, Aunt Mei will definitely be willing to do it.

But at that time she despised Jia Cong's humble family background and lack of support, so she did not agree to the marriage.

Who would have thought that it has only been a few months?

Now, this brother Cong unexpectedly turned around and inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion, and also got a Duke's Mansion, becoming the head of the Jia family.

If this marriage could be accomplished, Baoyatou would become the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, and once she got married, she would be a lady of honor!
However, Aunt Xue's mind became active again.

If it was possible before, it may be possible now.

It’s not possible today. It’s their wedding day, and it’s not a good time to bring up this matter, otherwise it would make their family seem too snobbish.

Why not wait a few more days and bring it up again? If it succeeds, it will naturally be a great joy.

Let’s not talk about Aunt Xue’s calculations.

Now that Jia Cong is the patriarch of the East Palace and has received the imperial edict, he must make a trip to the East Palace.

After all, he was adopted by Jia Jing, and Jia Zhen became his adopted brother.

He even had to observe mourning.

However, Jia Cong decided not to let Aunt Mei move there for the time being.

The situation there is chaotic right now, and if Aunt Mei goes there, it will inevitably cause noise.

It would not be too late to let Aunt Mei move in after Jia Zhen's funeral.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong took a few people and rode towards Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Cong jumped off his horse and ran straight to the mourning hall, crying all the way.

"Brother, why did you die so early?"

"My good nephew died young, which is very sad for me!"

Jia Cong cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, and his heart was broken.

It makes those who listen sad and those who hear it cry.

Along the way, whether they were servants, the children of the Jia family, or the relatives and friends of the Jia family.

When they saw Jia Cong, they all bowed or greeted him.

Jia Cong was feeling very sad. He just nodded and ignored everyone. He just cried even more sadly.

When people see him, they can't help but sigh that this Mr. Cong San is indeed a man of temperament.
