Naturally, Jia Jing didn't know that Wu Jiang and others were preparing to disgrace herself and even have her hands and feet amputated during the Emperor's Longevity Festival. But even if she knew, Jia Jing didn't care at all. He was also busy with the Qianqiu Longevity Festival.
things.
I don’t know whether it is a reflection of the history of the previous life, but this birthday of the Supreme Emperor is quite a bit like the "Thousands of Old Banquets" of the Qing Saint Ancestor in the previous life. This was decided a long time ago, so even if Emperor Yongxi doesn't want to
No matter how frugal you are, there is no reason to be stingy about the Emperor’s birthday, otherwise the scholars in the world will probably use the weapon of filial piety to spray him to death...
This Qianqiu Longevity Banquet is extremely large in scale. It is estimated that all civil and military officials in Beijing, as well as virtuous elders, famous scholars, and noble generals will be invited to participate. Therefore, the Jia family is also preparing. Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are both there with orders.
Wang Xifeng is a concubine, so she has to participate. Although Wang Xifeng does not have a concubine, she can follow her.
The Ningguo Mansion had also been preparing for a long time. Jia Zhen's wife passed away not long after Jia Jing's death, so they just happened to observe mourning together for three years. However, in fact, Jia Jing and his sister-in-law had just died and Jia Zhen had straightened up his side room You.
Although the Xifu family is a little dissatisfied with this, the Dongfu family lives their own lives, so they can only turn a blind eye.
Jia Jing could only shake her head and sigh that it was ridiculous. After all, Youshi in the Red Mansion was a smart person. If a new and unfamiliar sister-in-law was really allowed to be the heroine of Ningguo, it would not necessarily be possible.
It's a benefit for Jia Jing.
Jia Rong married Qin Keqing, the daughter of Qin Ye, a maintenance man from the Ministry of Industry, as his wife two years ago. Jia Jing only met her twice, and both times she asked An Jia Jing timidly and just nodded. She was indeed a wonderful child.
, with a graceful and slender figure, and a natural beauty, like a fox fairy, enchanting but not coquettish, romantic but charming, if I have to say...probably pure lust, Jia Jing estimated that this
A modern phrase is most appropriate to describe her.
However, when she thought of "Pickling the ashes out of the ashes" in Jiao Da's mouth, Jia Jing instantly became ecstatic, and even felt a little resentful towards Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing was naturally romantic and had never seen a man who had lusted after her since she was a child.
One thousand is as good as eight hundred. Jia Jingyi said that her attitude towards her was dull or even bad. She naturally felt it, but instead of being angry, she felt strange in her heart.
I couldn't help but think of my father-in-law who broke into the bridal chamber when they were getting married, talked nonsense and became drunk, and her husband who had almost avoided her since then, and I couldn't help but feel sad...
Today, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came to Xifu to discuss things, so I saw him again. He did not wear the Taoist robe that he usually wore, but instead changed into a pair of clean arrow sleeves. He leaned there with a faint evil smile on his lips, and he was born with a strong personality.
She had a free and unrestrained temperament, and her movements were full of nobility. The people sitting in the hall were all elders. Qin Keqing looked away without daring to look further.
Then I fell into deep self-blame and shame. This man is my uncle! I am also an official lady with a family of poetry and calligraphy. How could I do such a thing! Even thinking about it is a big sin!
Just when Qin Keqing was in such painful torment, which was almost chaotic, Jia Mu said: "You monkey, why don't you hurry up and do your business and come to see what we are doing?" Jia Jing leaned back on her seat leisurely.
He threw a dried fruit in his mouth and watched curiously with the sisters as Jia Mu and others put on the makeup of a first-class Duke's wife with the help of Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang, including the five-zhai crown, big sleeves, red shirt, and Xiapei.
The total number of gadgets can make the old lady very tired.
But it has to be said that no wonder people say that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. At first, Jia Mu, who looked like a kind old lady, really looked majestic and eye-catching after putting on this dress. Mrs. Xing’s ladylike uniform Although the pleasant clothes worn by Mrs. Wang can be regarded as "official clothes", sitting next to Jia Mu looks like a follower...
Jia Jing clicked her tongue and said in wonder: "No wonder people often say that a man can't live without power for a day, and he will live as a wife and a shadow, and honor his ancestors. Now look at our ancestors, isn't that the case? He went out on the street with this outfit, even the five armies The commanders and envoys of the Military and Horse Divisions all have to come and kowtow! All the governors of Jingzhao have to come and salute!" This is actually a bit too much. The governor of Jingzhao is also a third-rank official in purple, and he is indeed not as noble as him. Jia's mother would not be so polite to a princess's wife...
However, these words pleased Jia Mu very much. Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "No! There are not many such noble ancestors in the world." Jia Mu said with a smile: "This is how it will be in this life. I just want to see what you little guys can earn for your wife and children!"
Jia Zhen smiled and said nothing. He was the only one in his prime here. Would he dare to continue talking? He had nothing to do except drinking and having fun with his wife in Ning Mansion. How could he not be demoted? It’s just Amitabha, and you’re given a royal decree?
Jia Lian was also a little uncomfortable and smiled apologetically at Sister Feng who looked at him expectantly. Wang Xifeng naturally knew that she could not point to this husband, so she glared at him fiercely and then gave up. Glancing at the confused Jia Baoyu, she couldn't help but feel It's a bit funny. Why does Jia Mu say this? Let's see if any of these gentlemen in the Jia family can be trusted.
It's true. Jia Jing leaned lazily on the backrest and supported her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about it, old lady. What's the matter... Isn't it better than you?" Everyone in the Jia family was speechless for a while. , Wang Xifeng thought, yes, this is indeed something that can be earned, but...better than Jia Mu? Jia Mu is now the first-class Duke's wife, better than Jia Mu? Princess?
Jia Mu glared at Jia Jing and said with a smile: "Okay! Let me see how you, the monkey, can earn a princess for your wife!" Jia Jing ate the dried fruit indifferently, and Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "The second brother has to go first. It’s better to have a wife!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile without saying anything. Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Jing's smile and couldn't help but laughed awkwardly and said: "Why are you laughing, second brother?" Finally thought of She was not harming him, so her eyebrows could not help but stand up. Jia Jing smiled and shook her head and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Why should a man worry about not having a wife?"
Jia Mu said funnyly: "You are interested in your brother's marriage, who came to talk to you about it?" Wang Xifeng said aggrievedly: "What are you talking about? The second brother turned sixteen just by looking at it, and it turned out to be a new year. Isn’t it time to talk about marriage?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall took it seriously. The sisters and Daiyu looked at Jia Jing funny, while Qin Keqing looked at Jia Jing nervously. Jia Jing scratched his chin and said: "That's true, but it's just that I'm afraid there's no room for me to open my mouth about this kind of thing..." Qian Qianqiannu
As soon as these words came out, the elders in the hall laughed, and Wang Xifeng laughed loudly: "Ouch! It can be seen that the second brother is used to being domineering, and he even has to make the decision on his own marriage!" Jia Zhen also laughed and said: "The second brother is used to being domineering!
If you really like someone's girl, just come to me, but don't make the decision yourself."
There was no concept of free marriage at this time. Even if a man and a woman knew each other and were committed to each other for life, they had to notify the elders of the family first, and then the elders would propose marriage. Otherwise, it would be an elopement, and elopement was also a socially unacceptable operation.
In some ignorant mountain villages, if you are caught, you will be dipped in a pig cage...
They are a high-ranking family, so they naturally have more rules. As the direct son of Ningguo Mansion, if Jia Jing finds a woman to marry outside, the Jia family will basically become the laughing stock of the entire Shenjing.
Jia's mother was also amused and said: "How can I open my mouth about my own marriage?" Jia Jing looked at everyone in the Jia family laughing and was speechless for a moment: "What Jing means is that Jing's marriage... I'm afraid
It is the Supreme Emperor or His Majesty who makes the decision."
The laughter of everyone in the Jia family stopped suddenly. Jia Lian was silent for a moment and couldn't help but said with envy: "The second brother is really... as if he is showing off..." Then under Wang Xifeng's cold gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller, and Jia Jing said speechlessly: "
What is there to show off? If the Emperor and His Majesty gave me a choice, would they let me choose? They must put the interests of the Jia family first. Will they still look at whether the woman is good-looking? She knows etiquette but not etiquette? If the second brother is envious, he must
Why don't we switch?"
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she spat at Jia Jing. Even she blushed when she heard the words just now. Jia Mu also said angrily: "The more I say it, the less likely it is! Is there any difference between the one chosen by the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty? Be careful if people spread the word.
You're disrespectful." Jia Jing curled her lips. The Emperor and His Majesty must have chosen the aristocratic family for their marriage based on the situation that was beneficial to their situation. How could they care whether they liked it or not?
Thinking of this, Jia Jing couldn't help but feel a little dazed. In his previous life, he was a college student who had been single for more than 20 years. It can be said that the last time he touched a girl's waist was when he was playing eagle and catching chicks in kindergarten... He said that he had never dreamed of a beautiful and pure love.
I'm afraid he doesn't even believe it himself, but in his previous life he devoted himself to his favorite historical research, and in this life he is busy with big things, and he can't help himself with his marriage... He can't help but feel a little melancholy, but after all, men are more rational than emotional, so Jia Jing fell.
Don't really care either.
Jia Mu looked at Jia Jing in a daze. How could she not know Jia Jing's thoughts since she was a girl, so she interrupted: "Why don't you go about your business?" Jia Jing came back to her senses and looked at Jia Mu calmly.
He blinked in confusion and said, "What can I prepare?"
Jia Mu said: "The Emperor treats you as lovingly as his descendants, why don't you make careful preparations for his birthday?" Jia Jing came back to her senses and drank tea nonchalantly and said: "Oh, I copied a few scriptures and sent them over when the time comes.
Enough."
Mother Jia was quietly waiting for Jia Jing's follow-up, but she saw Jia Jing drinking tea again. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "No more?!" Jia Jing was stunned for a moment: "Well... no more...
...What's wrong?" Mother Jia looked at Jia Jing with a ridiculous look on her face and said, "On the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, how many Taoist scriptures will you give me?"
Jia Jing was speechless and said: "Do you think everyone is like Baoyu who does nothing but still gets your dowry? How can I get a birthday gift for me when I just started making a living?" Jia's mother scolded: "That should have been said earlier.
Just say it! The Supreme Emperor treats you like this, how can you not be loyal and filial? Yuanyang, go quickly and prepare some gifts for your second master!"
Jia Jing said indifferently: "Forget it, the Emperor has never seen anything good. I will give you a few Taoist scriptures, and the Emperor will understand." Jia Mu said displeased: "This is nonsense! Even if the Emperor is considerate, it is still a courtesy.
There are many people who are not surprised, how can you be so casual!"
Jia Zhen was also embarrassed and said: "Where can the old lady come up with something? Otherwise, my grandson will be embarrassed to death. I will ask the people below to prepare some gifts right away." Seeing that they did not listen to her, Jia Jing had no choice but to do so.
He shook his head and drank tea by himself.
Jia Zhen shouted to Jia Rong and told him to go back home quickly to prepare another gift. Jia Jing saw Jia Rong's pale face and left in a hurry. She couldn't help but shook her head secretly and said to Jia Zhen: "Brother, it stands to reason that I don't have such a face."
The person who said this is just that Rong'er is not young now and is even married, so I'm afraid it doesn't look right for you to beat and scold her at every turn."
