Chapter 13 Jia's family banquet, taking office in the Ministry of Industry,
The moonlight gradually deepened, but there was still a bustle and noisy in Rongqing Hall.
Because of Jia Mu's summons, Ning Rong's two mansions gathered together today.
Tonight's Rongqing Hall is particularly lively than usual. Between the flowers and green willows, there are high lights and long candles on the hall as bright as the daylight.
As we come and go, the golden hairpins compete for beauty; while laughing and fighting, we hear the laughter in the hall.
Grandmother Jia sat alone on the head of the hall, looking at the lively scene in the hall, smiling. On the short couch next to her, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng sat on the side to chat. Behind Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou stood aside to serve.
On the other side, the girls and wives of the fourth generation of the Jia family were gathering together, talking intently, while Daiyu was pulled by Qin Keqing, the wife of Jia Rong of Ning Mansion. The two of them were whispering something.
The phoenix eggs wearing brocade and jade are wandering with many girls and wives, saying a few words here and laughing and making a few words over there, but they are indescribable and comfortable.
As for the concubine's son Jia Huan, who had been following Baoyu, his efforts to integrate into this lively atmosphere were in vain.
Because Jia Huan's reputation was not very good, the female relatives in the venue naturally didn't want to pay much attention to this person. Even Tanchun, who was born with the same mother, had no good face for this exhausted person who was full of poisons.
Just as the people in the hall were laughing and making noises, they suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then everyone in the hall saw a maid coming in to report the ceremony.
"Old ancestors, the eldest master, the second master, the uncle Zhen, the third master Jing and Brother Rong are here!"
Before the maid could finish her words, Jia She had already come in from the door first, followed by Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Jing and Jia Rong.
For a moment, except for Jia Mu, everyone else in the room stood up to greet him.
"I've been at my own home and went to my mother's house, but there's so much trouble." Jia She said with a smile on her face, as if she was complaining and joking.
Immediately, Jia She led everyone to ask for peace to Mother Jia and greeted everyone.
Jia Mu just smiled and said, "You, your son is so old, he is still so playful, and he is so kind of etiquette, but what can I do? Can't I make a joke for nothing?!"
"What my mother said is that etiquette cannot be abolished!" Jia Zhengying said next to him.
Upon hearing this, the deeper the smile on Mu Jia's face became.
Jia She's expression remained unchanged, and she was still smiling on her face, but there was a gloom flashing in her eyes, which was brought into her eyes by Jia Jing standing on the side.
Without waiting for Jia Jing's thoughts to move too much, he saw Jia Mu wave to him.
Jia Jing hurried forward and bowed to say hello.
"Brother Jing, you are so tall and handsome now!" Jia Mu looked at Jia Jing, who was tall and handsome in front of her, and smiled, "I knew you were coming back today, so I had to hold such a family dinner to welcome you."
"I have to bother my ancestors and be ashamed of my grandson!" Jia Jing was quite moved, and bowed again with an excited expression on his face. The lowering eyes were calm, but no one could see them.
"It should be like this. In the third year of Liaodong, the rain, snow, wind and frost have made you suffer. But it will be better in the future. Being a servant in the Ministry of Works is no more painful than being in Liaodong!"
"Okay, okay, my ancestor, let's start a banquet as soon as possible, but I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry!" I couldn't stand Jia Mu's approach to Jia Jing so kindly. Baoyu, who was on the side, didn't bother laughing among the sisters and hurriedly urged Jia Mu to start a banquet.
Upon hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since Baoyu has already urged me, then hurry up and start the banquet!"
This made Jia Zheng very angry. Seeing that Jia She's children were already fifth-rank doctors, his children were still playing in the group of girls, and their etiquette was not at all.
The people from Ning Mansion are still there, so I am so embarrassed!
He shouted angrily: "Nizi, what are you doing there? Why don't you come here for me!"
Hearing Jia Zheng's angry shout, Jia Baoyu, who had just interrupted the conversation between Jia Mu and Jia Jing, didn't even have time to be happy. He remembered Jia Zheng's methods of instructing him in the past, and immediately shivered. Then he immediately turned his eyes to Jia Mu's direction, "Old ancestor..."
Seeing Baoyu's pitiful look, Jia Mu's heart suddenly softened, "Second Master, today is a happy life, and Baoyu is still a child..."
Seeing that Jia Mu had already spoken, Jia Zheng had no choice but to give up.
Although Jia Jing on one side was grateful to Jia Baoyu for interrupting Jia Mu's sensational scene with her, the other side couldn't help but take a breath.
Good guy, even if he has traveled to a parallel world, he can still hear the words "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-S
In this era when a boy can get married in his 15th and 16th, and a girl can get married in his 14th and 15th, Jia Jing said in his heart a 15th and 16th year old child!
Just as Jia Jing was feeling a toothache, a group of maids in red and green were already coming in with extremely exquisite dishes.
On several tables, the men from the two mansions had a large table and the women sat at the table.
For a moment, the whole Rongqing Hall was filled with cups and laughter.
It seemed as if everything just now had disappeared.
As for the dinner, Jia Jing and Yingchun and his brothers talked about their longing and worrying, they were not detailed.
…………
The next morning.
Jia Jing got up early in the morning, washed up briefly, and changed into the black clothes of the doctor who received the official charity at the Ministry of Personnel yesterday.
The inner lined with white gauze, the outer red silk official uniform, the foot covered with white socks and black shoes, the waist is tied with leather belt and ribbon, and the head is wearing a beam crown.
On the bright red official robe, a white squid spread his wings and a delicate accessories hung on the ribbon around his waist. Jia Jing became more and more heroic and handsome.
One word, handsome! Just like the readers of this book...
After taking the reins handed over by Lai Fu next to him, Jia Jing turned over to the horse.
When he was about to leave, Jia Jing suddenly remembered something again and told Lai Fu on the side: "I don't know what the farm I bought outside the city two years ago now looks like. After the city gate opened, you will lead the guards to the Tooth Store in the South City to buy a few honest and reliable servants and organize them well. When I rest, I will go and have fun."
Lai Fu quickly responded, and then asked: "Master, do you want to buy a few more maids and mothers in your yard? Now you are a high-ranking official, but you don't even have a service to get up in the morning. You are not even as good as those unsuccessful young men! It's really..."
"That's fine, then you can take a look together," Jia Jing did not object. This is the case in this era, and he also needed a few maids to make some miscellaneous items. Otherwise, it would be a bit inappropriate for him and the two brothers Shuan Zhu Laifu in the huge yard.
"You bring Shuanzhu with you and see if anyone likes you. Buy one of them and I will reward you! You brothers are not young this year!"
After saying this, Lai Fu's face turned red, and he was so naughty that he didn't know what to say.
Jia Jing chuckled a few times, lifted the reins on his hands, and knocked his feet on the horse's belly, "Hold"!
Then, amid the sound of horse hooves, Jia Jing's figure gradually faded away.
After leaving Rongguo Mansion from the back door, Jia Jing found that Jia Zheng was also sitting in a two-carrying sedan chair, preparing to go to the Ministry of Works to click Mao.
Without waiting for Jia Zheng, Jia Jing went straight to the yamen of the Qing Lishu, Yu Heng, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works, and left.
The horses trotted all the way, left Ningrong Street, passed through Chengxifang, and took another cup of tea before they arrived on Xichang'an Street. It was already close to Chen Hou (7 to 9 o'clock).
Seeing that it was still a distance, Jia Jing was very glad that he had traveled to this parallel world of the Red Mansions. In addition to the several major dynasties every year, the morning dynasties of the Great Zhou Empire were only on the 15th day of the month, and the rest of the time they were dealing with political affairs in their respective yamen. Moreover, the working hours of the yamen were about the same as those on earth on the 9-5th day. At the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 19th hour of the 19th hour, at the 1
It is not like the Ming Dynasty on Earth, which is called Changchao, and they go to court every day, and they have to wait at the palace gate at the Yin hour (3:00 to 5:00). How come it is so "miserable".
Just as he was thinking about how sad the officials of the Ming Dynasty on Earth were, Jia Jing suddenly saw from afar that Yu Heng had arrived at the Qing Literary Office.
