After everyone arrived at the main hall of Rongxi Hall, the young eunuch first came behind the incense table, and then stretched out his hand to the other eunuchs following him, and an imperial edict was immediately delivered to his hands.
The little eunuch received the imperial edict, then raised it high and said, "Jia Shi, accept the edict."
After hearing this, Jia Mu took a few steps forward and was about to kneel down. The little eunuch said hurriedly: "The thousand-year-old King Yan has already explained it. The old lady is old and there is no need to kneel down."
Jia Mu then stood in front of the incense table, while Jia She, Jia Zheng and others could only kneel behind Jia Mu.
Seeing that everyone was already kneeling, the little eunuch opened the imperial edict and said: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: The Jia family has great merits. I specially named Jia Daishan, the late Duke of Rongguo, as the honored king, and the honorable king's legitimate wife Shi."
princess."
Everyone below, including Jia's mother, was overjoyed after hearing this. This event can be regarded as a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven. Even the deceased old Duke Rong was posthumously granted the title due to the current power of the Jia family.
Jia Mu came to her senses and said quickly: "My wife Jia Shi has accepted the order."
The eunuch quickly came to Jia Mu across the river and put the imperial edict in her hands.
Jia Mu took the imperial edict and held it in her arms. Jia Zheng, Jia She and others quickly came over to congratulate him.
When the little eunuch saw Jia Zheng and others getting up, he quickly said: "Several nobles, the emperor has a decree for some nobles."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng and others knew that they were probably going to be canonized, so they hurriedly sent someone to help Jia Mu to the back hall, and then they knelt down on the ground again.
The young eunuch came back again, and after arriving at the incense table, he took out an imperial edict, which was to confer Jia Zheng as Rongguo Gong.
Then, Jia She was canonized as Marquis of Jing'an and Jia Zhen as Marquis of Shouning.
After hearing this, the three people below were all overjoyed. This time, their Jia family had reached a certain level of glory.
Besides, after these imperial edicts were read out, a golden light fell directly into the underworld.
The Jia family in the underworld was illuminated by this golden light, and its area immediately expanded several times.
In particular, there was one god-man among them. His golden light was originally dim, but this golden light directly penetrated into his body.
This man of God immediately shone with golden light, and he was silent for a moment. He understood the cause and effect, and felt very relieved in his heart.
This man of god came to the two palaces in the middle of the underworld, and he released a great light. Next to these palaces, another tall and majestic palace was immediately built.
This god-man looked proud, and then walked into the palace gracefully. After this god-man moved in, this newly built palace began to shine with light, complementing the other two palaces.
Then the other two palaces each emitted a golden light, and the new palace also emitted a golden light.
These three golden lights merged into one over the underworld, and finally turned into a golden umbrella, firmly protecting Jia's underworld.
Not far to the south of them, there is a Hades that is more than ten times the size of the Jia clan. However, this famous map is somewhat dilapidated and dim, but it cannot protect the residents of the Hades.
The most important thing is that at their junction, the laws of the two underworlds are constantly clashing. Although the huge underworld has a vast area, it seems to be a little weak in energy, and it is constantly being eaten away by Jia's underworld.
In the vast underworld, there were constant roars, and from time to time a golden figure appeared. Whenever a golden figure appeared, the encroachment speed of Jia's underworld at the border slowed down by one minute.
.
But just like that, the golden figure became much darker.
But in Jia's underworld, the three supreme beings never appeared.
When the god-man in the huge underworld saw that there was no movement in Jia's underworld, he understood that once the destiny of the two parties was separated, there would no longer be any relationship.
The god-man glared at Jia's territory fiercely, then took out a pearl from his arms and threw it in the air. When the pearl came over the underworld, it emitted a great light and immediately protected the entire underworld.
On the side of Jia's Underworld, sitting in the middlemost palace was none other than Rong Guo Gong Jia Yuan. He used the sacred tree to look at the huge Underworld. When he saw the bright pearl, his heart rose.
There was a moment of fear.
This made Jia Yuan's mind, which was still about to stir up, calm down once again. It seemed that he could only solve his serious problem by waiting for his descendants in this world to succeed.
Besides, in the Rongguo Mansion, almost all the Jia family received awards, and among them, Jia She was so happy that his beard was jumping. He had been wronged to the point of staying in the small house next to him for so many years.
Jia Zheng also touched his beard happily. This time he lived in Rongguo Mansion, which was justified.
Although Jia Zhen was also happy, she was still a little discerning. He hurriedly took out a few banknotes from his arms, stuffed them into the hands of the little eunuch who was delivering the order, and then led someone to send the little eunuch out of Rongguo Mansion.
Then he came back again.
At this time, in the Hall of Rongxi, Jia Mu was sitting in the middle, Jia Zheng and Jia She stood aside, and the three of them were laughing and chatting.
And Jia Zhen took a few steps forward and came to Jia Mu's side, "Congratulations to the old lady."
When Jia Mu heard what he said, the smile on her face became even brighter, "This sounds awkward, but the previous title still sounds good to my ears. You can't say it like that again in the future."
Although it was Jia Mu who said this, Jia Zhen saw that the wrinkles on Jia Mu's face were all open, so she naturally did not take it seriously.
"Yes, we will obey the old concubine's order."
While they were laughing and talking here, someone came from outside to say, "Grandma is back."
As soon as Jia Mu heard this, she immediately ordered people to open the middle door and win Qin Keqing into the Rongxi Hall.
Qin Keqing entered the Rongxi Hall and quickly saluted Jia Mu, "My granddaughter-in-law has met the old concubine."
"Why are my family members talking about this? It's better to tell my ancestors that they are happy to hear it."
Qin Keqing smiled and saluted again, "I've met my ancestors."
"Oh, is this ridiculous?"
Next, Qin Keqing hurriedly saluted Jia Zheng, Jia She and others.
After everyone bowed, Jia Mu asked Qin Keqing to sit down next to her, and then asked: "You are not staying in the palace, what do you want to do when you come back this time?"
After hearing this, Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Didn't our family all get gifts this time? It's just that our aunt was left behind. The uncle asked me to come back and deliver another imperial edict to my aunt. As for why the little eunuchs were not asked to pass it on
I just thought it wouldn’t be too public about this matter.”
After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Jia's mother thought that Jia Ke had done a pretty good job this time and did not offend Mrs. Wang in front of her.
"Then what is the order for your aunt this time?"
"To return to our ancestors, this time the emperor will show mercy and grant our aunt the title of Mrs. Qin."
After hearing this, Jia's mother looked a little unhappy. This time, Jia Ke's title was a little too much. Mrs. Qin's rank was already the same as Duke Rong's. In the mansion, even Mrs. Wang had a lower title.
Isn't it a bit of a reversal of right and wrong, using a concubine to suppress a legitimate wife?
Qin Keqing naturally saw Jia's mother's displeasure. She was actually unwilling to handle this matter, but Jia Ke had spoken and she had to come.
So Qin Keqing thought that it was better to finish the matter quickly and go back to the palace, otherwise it would not look good if he met some people again. After all, this matter was against the law.
"Old lady, please rest first, I will go to the back to meet our aunt."
Qin Keqing bowed to Jia Mu and left without waiting for his consent.
Seeing Qin Keqing leave, Jia's mother took a look at Jia Zheng next to her and said, "In this family, it's better to be poor than to be poor, and it's difficult to be rich to be rich."
Jia Zheng naturally understood what Jia Mu meant, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only stand aside and smile awkwardly.
But Jia She on the side spoke for him, "I think it's nothing. Isn't it just that the reward given by the eldest brother to his aunt is a bit large? I saw that the second brother married an equal wife, so I settled the matter.
.”
Jia's mother could only nod her head after hearing this. This could only be done as it was, after all, Jia Ke's face still had to be taken care of.
"Second brother, in a few days you can set up some tables of wine and put this matter out in the open."
Jia Zheng nodded hurriedly after hearing this. He had nothing to lose from this matter, but gained instead. After all, no matter how arrogant and domineering Aunt Zhou was, she could not get past his husband.
Jia's mother then said to Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, please go to the ancestral hall and change the identity of Aunt Zhou in the genealogy."
"Don't worry, old lady. I already understand. I will go into the ancestral hall today and change the identity of Aunt Zhou in the genealogy."
Jia Zhen is now classified as Shouning Hou because of Jia Ke, and she is very proud of herself. How can she refute Jia Ke's face now?
Besides, Qin Keqing left Rongxi Hall with his maid and eunuch, and walked around to Aunt Zhou's yard.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard the maids inside talking about each other.
"I heard that our master has been named Rongguo Gong."
"Yes, yes, I just saw Caixia, and she was a little angry when she looked at her nostrils turned upward."
"Humph, it's not just because of our status as uncle, otherwise why would Madam get the title of the Duke's Wife?"
"Why? Just because she is the eldest wife, no matter how hard we try, the benefits will fall on the lady in the end."
They were chattering there, and eventually some of them became more and more outrageous. Qin Keqing felt something was wrong, so she coughed outside, and the noise inside immediately disappeared.
At this time, Qin Keqing entered the courtyard. The little maids in the courtyard had such things. Qin Keqing hurried over to salute her.
Qin Keqing looked at these little maids and said with an unhappy expression: "Master, you can discuss this matter? Forget it this time. If I encounter you again, I won't spare you."
This was the first time for these little maids to see Qin Keqing so angry. Previously, Qin Keqing always greeted her master and family members with a smile, but now they were a little scared to see her angry, so they all responded submissively.
Agree.
Seeing that all of them were honest, Qin Keqing led people to Aunt Zhou's room.
As soon as Qin Keqing entered the room, he saw Aunt Zhou weeping secretly, while Xia Mai stood there with an expression of dissatisfaction.
When Qin Keqing saw it, he quickly came forward and sat next to Zhou Yinyang, took her hand and said, "Auntie, what's wrong? You're fine, why are you crying?"
Aunt Zhou hadn't spoken yet, but Xia Mai, who was standing aside, became angry, "What else could it be? Just now, my wife called my aunt into the room and gave her a good lecture, which made others laugh."
Qin Keqing also felt a little angry after hearing this. Mrs. Wang was too ignorant of praise. She relied on Jia Ke for her prosperity. Now she is treating Jia Ke's biological mother so slowly. Jia Ke must know this.
