After the Zhengdan period, the entire Shenjing City became more and more lively.

Because of this time, it is time to visit relatives and friends every year, wish you New Year’s greetings and have a drink.

All families with a little bit of power and assets hold banquets, prepare fine wine, invite opera troupes, and finally invite relatives, friends and guests to have a happy drink and listen to opera, so they can walk around and become familiar with each other.

Faced with such a time, the Jia family naturally cannot avoid the customs. Like other high-ranking families in Beijing, they had already set a date list for New Year's wine before the New Year.

So, after the first day of the first lunar month, the Ningrong Street, which was previously quite lively, became several times noisy.

The relatives, friends and guests of the Jia family ride in sedan chairs, cars and horses every day, and there are endless contacts.

In the three residences of the Jia family, today you invite me and tomorrow I will have a banquet. The opera will be sung again and again, and the banquet will be held like flowing water.

During this period, Jia Jing either invited someone or was invited to deal with fine wine and food all day long, and he had no time to spare.

It took eight or nine days to be so lively that the Spring Festival was over.

It was just that the New Year was just over, but the Lantern Festival was approaching.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Mu ordered people to set up several big banquets and booked a small show. The yard was full of lanterns of various colors, and took the Jia family and several relatives in the family to hold another family dinner.

In this way, it can be considered as the Lantern Festival.

...

After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere in Shenjing became tense instantly.

With the order from Emperor Hongde, the entire Zhou court began to actively prepare for war one or two months in advance.

Just overnight, the Shenjing, which seemed calm on the surface, was already covered with turbulent undercurrents.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The first thing that the Ministry of Revenue opened the yamen after the New Year was to start preparing food, grass, military pay and other supplies for the Northern Expedition Army. The workload was quite large, so many officials of the Ministry of Revenue were busy all of a sudden.

On the other hand, under the order of Emperor Hongde, the Ministry of Works also began to conduct large-scale inspections and repairs or even replace soldiers' weapons and armor; and also various military equipment and siege weapons must be inspected and repaired, and some spare replacement parts will be made.

Taipu Temple also sent a large number of veterinarians and craftsmen to check the health of many horses in the army and replace the horseshoes;

As for several ministers in the Ministry of War, and many generals who were leading troops to fight, they were frequently summoned to the palace for questioning by Emperor Hongde.

Just after the Lantern Festival, the whole Zhou Dynasty was like a huge war machine and began to operate rumblingly.

For this battle, Emperor Hongde’s request is:

Not only do you have to win, but you have to win beautifully!

…………

Of course, those who prepare for war and other things have no connection with Jia Jing for the time being.

As a person who is about to get married, he is so willful.

As for the three battalions under Jia Jing's command, because they were all going to fight with the army, Jia Jing, under the will of the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing, temporarily handed over the military talisman to the hands of the new general of the surrender, Qiu Lu, the Duke of Qi.

In this way, Jia Jing didn't even have to go to the daily training in the Beijing Camp.

Take a paid leave at home openly!

After getting idle, Jia Jing either exercises martial arts at home every day, or goes to the villa outside the city to see the new seedlings of spices cultivated in his greenhouse.

I also lived a leisurely and contentment for a while.

Just like that, in a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

...

The eighth day of the second lunar month is a lucky day specially chosen by Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Xing.

On this day, Mrs. Xing ordered people to take out the prepared gifts from Curry early, then called Jia Jing, put on a red dress, and ordered people to invite Mrs. Wang and four Quanfu women, including the matchmaker, to bring the betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts to Lin Mansion.

Because it was a marriage grant, the Jia and Lin families had already asked Najib for their name, so they found someone to calculate, and decided on the specific date, and directly reported to the Ministry of Rites.

Strictly speaking, today is just a process of passing the matter of asking for a request.

In the Lin Mansion, because Lin Ruhai is now alone, he has not reunited since Daiyu's mother passed away, and has never taken a concubine, so Jia Jing and his party came to the ceremony, and Lin Ruhai invited a Quanfu elder of the family to entertain the four female and matchmakers of the Jia family.

As for Jia Jing, just throw it to the banquet and drink hard according to Lin Ruhai’s instructions!

As early as when Jia Jing and others left the mansion, Lin Ruhai, who received the report, had already counted the time and ordered people to hold a banquet, and specially prepared several jars of strong wine, waiting for Jia Jing to come to the door.

Now Jia Jing is just coming to the door, and soon he wants to marry his own Xiao Baicai. How could Lin Ruhai let Jia Jing go easily?

Immediately, the jar of wine is squeezing, and drink hard anyway!

But drinking is also interesting.

Because Lin Ruhai was too hard when he was released as the salt censor of the two Huaihe Rivers a few years ago, his health was not very strong. So now he just tasted it briefly when drinking, but he just asked Jia Jing to drink it. In the end, a large jar of strong wine, except for the cup that Lin Ruhai poured him, all the rest went into Jia Jing's stomach.

But most of the wine in Lin Ruhai's glass is still left!

If it weren't for Daiyu in the backyard who sent Zijuan to stare in advance and stopped Lin Ruhai in time, maybe Jia Jing's future father-in-law would have to drink this glass of wine until the end, and by the way, Jia Jing would have dried all the remaining jars of wine.

However, Daiyu's stopping made Lin Ruhai's eyes look at Jia Jing even more wrong!

...

After Jia Jing and his group had enough food and food, they took the Lin family's return gift and all went back happily.

Well, both families were happy, except for Lord Lin who was a little sad...

After returning, Jia Jing first went to Rongqing Hall and informed Jia Mu of the news. Jia Mu was naturally very happy.

Then, he went to Jia She's courtyard and informed Jia She and Mrs. Xing of the news.

After both sides had a trip, Jia Jing was able to return to his marquis' mansion.

…………

After the gift, the day of getting married is waiting.

So, Jia Jing returned to the salted fish form again, and spent all day practicing martial arts and flirting with military books in the study.

On that day, Jia Jing was flipping through the military books in the study, and suddenly Lai Fu came in to report: "Marquis, Ping'er, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Lian, came to see him, saying that he had something urgent to ask for the Marquis!"

"An urgent matter?" Jia Jing said curiously: "What urgent matter can their family have?"

As he said, he greeted Lai Fu, "Go out and take a look!"

Outside the study room, Ping'er was rushing back and forth at the entrance of the yard. When she saw Jia Jing coming out of her own, she suddenly seemed to have seen a savior and rushed over as if she was flying.

As soon as Jia Jing left the door, he saw Ping'er rushing over with an anxious look on his face, "Mr. Marquis! Go and save our second master, he is almost beaten to death by the master!"

Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, "I'm about to be beaten by the master? Let's go, hurry up and take a look!"

Hearing Ping'er's words, Jia Jing did not hesitate, and immediately walked quickly to Rong Mansion, asking as he walked: "Let me tell me, why do you want to hit someone because of something?"

Hearing Jia Jing's question, Ping'er gritted her teeth and cursed: "It's not because of that Jia Yucun. I don't know where a starving wild bastard came from. I have known each other for just a few years, so how many things happened to our mansion..."
