The Red Mansions

Chapter 129 Jia Heng 3 Enters Rongguo Mansion

Chapter 129 Jia Heng Enters Rongguo Mansion Three Times

In Rongqing hall, mother and son were talking, Jia Mu glared at Jia She, and said: "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing here, how can the elders hope that the younger generation of the clan will suffer, what is this?" The sign of fortune?"

"When did he ever consider me an elder?" Jia She said with a cold snort.

"Okay, okay." Seeing the gloomy and surly face, Jia's mother waved her hand a little displeased.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family walked around the screen and approached and said: "Old lady, Eldest Master, Uncle Heng is here."

When Jia Mu heard this, her complexion changed, and she said, "Let him in."

No matter what, she still wants to persuade her later, don't stay at home to enjoy the blessings, and insist on following the government and army to suppress Laoshizi bandits?

Not long after, Jia Heng walked in from the outside and entered the Rongqing hall. When he saw Jia Amnesty at the side, he pretended not to see him, and cupped his hands towards Jia Mu who was sitting at the head, and said, "Old lady, I don't know what is calling Heng? "

Regarding the boy's failure to salute Jia Amnesty, Mother Jia also pretended not to notice, pointing to the chair beside her, forced a smile, and said, "Brother Heng, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he sat on a chair beside him, looking at Jia's mother calmly.

Mother Jia looked at the calm young man in green shirt, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Rong is also here at this moment. In terms of seniority, he can be regarded as your nephew, although his father has lost his mind. Harm you, but thinking about it, I can't implicate Brother Rong, right?"

"The old lady might as well speak more clearly." Jia Heng said while taking the tea from the mandarin duck at the side, and putting it on the small table at the side.

Mother Jia, who was interrupted to "stop talking", was stunned for a while, and said: "Okay, the old man might as well open the skylight and speak brightly. Brother Rong is not young anymore, and he has reached the age of talking about marriage. If you want money, you are in charge of the East Mansion now, and I heard that Gongzhong Yinliang still has 6 to [-] taels."

"Old lady, it's fifty-four thousand eight hundred and twenty one taels." Jia Heng said with a calm gaze, "This is the silver that the old man ordered someone to count, and the saint in the palace sealed it with an angel."

Mother Jia paused, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Jia Heng said: "These silvers are not fake, but they should be used in the public. Yesterday, Heng said when he was a child when he hosted a banquet for the family members that he would allocate money to establish ethnology and hire famous teachers. It will probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, plus some added every year, and the money will last for three to five years. As for Brother Rong’s marriage, according to the family’s routine, I will seal 200 taels as a gift at that time. He Yi..."

"What are you talking about? You inherited the entire family property of the Duke's Mansion, and you just took 200 taels. How can this be possible?" Jia Amnesty was listening, but couldn't help but cut off the conversation and accused.

Jia Rong also had an ugly expression on her face, looking at Jia Heng with cold eyes, she thought to herself, "200 taels, what about the beggars?"

Jia Heng said loudly: "When I got married, I bought all kinds of banquets and gifts, and it was only 200 taels! Give Brother Rong 200 taels, why can't he get married? I agree, Ningguo Mansion was built by imperial edict! The Ministry of Households allocated money to build it, and I live in Ningguo Mansion now, and it is not an inheritance! This is a gift from the emperor."

"Gian Zhuang, where's the shop?" Jia She said coldly, "These are all accumulated by Brother Rong."

Jia Heng sneered, and said sarcastically: "The farm and shop have been sealed by the emperor's golden words. Whether the silver produced can be taken out is still in doubt. Of course, if the master is not satisfied, just go to the emperor and say it."

In fact, there is no decree about the thawing of farms and shops in the imperial decree, but it has given Jia Heng the de facto right to control.

Because the profit produced by the farm and the shop must be delivered to the public, and the public treasury can only be dispatched by Jia Heng as the patriarch.

That is to say, it has been donated to Jia Heng.

Besides, even if this issue is not mentioned, the goods in the East Mansion will not be able to make irresponsible remarks in the West Mansion.

Mother Jia felt a headache when she heard it, waved her hands, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, since the farm and shop have been sealed up, it's not easy for Brother Heng to try to turn around and arrange some things, so don't talk about other things." .”

"What the old lady said is the truth." Jia Heng cupped his hands.

"Brother Heng, Brother Rong, you have to pay some taels of money for the wedding. You must pay some taels. 200 taels is really... You don't have to be afraid of people gossiping about you as the patriarch." Mother Jia frowned and said.

Jia Heng said calmly, "200 taels is enough. Nowadays, the east and west mansions pay attention to ostentation. I don't care about the old lady's west mansion, but the daily expenses of the east mansion must not be as extravagant as in the past."

The so-called secrecy will cause harm. Now he will not release rumors to rectify the Lai family in advance to prevent him from transferring property, but when he returns from Cuihua Mountain, he will be the first to attack the Lai family!

Jia She sneered and said, "You come from a small family, you don't know what to do, and you just say that you can't get on the table. How many old relatives are there in my two families in Jia's house? Every year and festival, welcome and send, which one does not require money?" ? Well, that’s right, you don’t have an official, no job, and no salary. Naturally, you have to plan carefully, pick and choose!”

Hearing these harsh words, Mother Jia glared at Jia She, just sighed, and said, "If Brother Heng is the kind of person who picks and swishes, he wouldn't spend 1 taels of silver to build a family school. "

"Invite to buy people's hearts, who wouldn't?" Jia Rong said in a cold voice at this time.

Mother Jia paused when she heard the words, and glanced at Jia Rong in surprise.

Jia Heng squinted his eyes, his stern eyes glanced at Jia Rong's delicate face, he looked straight into Jia Rong's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "When your father was around, if you loved the clan by inviting people's hearts, you would be in prison today." Disaster? If you invite people to buy people's hearts to rebuild ethnology and invite famous teachers to teach you the art of civil and martial arts, won't you be able to achieve your current civil and military skills? Besides, do you think that the hearts of the Jia people, old and young, can be bought by mere ten thousand taels of silver? I bought it? Ignorant, stupid! If you don’t have a heart, how can you be invited to buy it with a small favor?”

Jia Rong's face was pale, and she was speechless when questioned by the young man's aggressive words, and she didn't dare to meet the pair of sharp eyes with a hint of evil spirit.

Jia Heng said coldly: "You lost your title because of your father's crimes, your wealth is no longer there, or you think it's because of me, so you harbor resentment, but because of your father's audacity, you caused the world to fall. , with a knife and an ax, can you still live here and talk to me?"

After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup with a heavy "bang", stood up suddenly, pressed the sword in his hand, and stared at Jia Rong condescendingly like a tiger and wolf.

As a frontier soldier in his previous life, Jia Heng had killed people before, and his sudden ferocity was unstoppable by a young man rolling in a pile of rouge.

Jia Rong was suddenly terrified, and fell down from the chair, her handsome and delicate face was as pale as frost.

"As cowardly as a mouse, dare to harbor hatred!" Jia Heng glanced at Jia Rong indifferently, and then looked at Jia She, who had a gloomy face, "If you are not afraid of death, just come and harm me!"

Jia Amnesty's heart trembled violently, and he looked away.

Just as Jia Heng was seated, Jia Mu, who rushed forward, cupped her hands and remained silent.

Mother Jia's face was already blue and red, she looked at Jia Rong who was already paralyzed in fright, and then glanced at Jia Heng who was with the old god, and sighed in her heart.

Just like the first time she saw Jia Heng, she felt that the young man really looked like the two princes of the country, so she softened her heart at that time and didn't speak for Brother Zhen.

The mandarin duck behind Jia's mother also stared at the young man in a daze.

When the Rongqing hall fell into an eerie silence, Lin Zhixiao suddenly walked into the Rongqing hall and said joyfully: "Old lady, ma'am, the angel in the palace came to deliver an order. I didn't meet Mr. Heng in the East mansion. Now I'm here." It’s the West Mansion, and it’s said that the Holy Majesty wants to give Uncle Heng a favor, he’ll be promoted to a fourth-rank official title, and he’ll be enjoying a salary.”

Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty: "..."

Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his expression remained calm.

"With the reputation of Ci Jue Biao, the emperor wants to grant favors, but no one talks about it, but the reward of the fourth-rank famous utensils, the emperor can only follow the decree."

Jia Heng thought for a while, got up, cupped his hands at Mother Jia, who was stunned, and said, "Old lady, the Holy Spirit has ordered you not to neglect, and Heng went out to meet you."

Mother Jia also realized this, and said eagerly, "I'm going to have a look together, too."

As he said, with the support of Yuanyang, he stood up from the chair, surrounded by servants and maidservants, and walked towards the outside of Rongqing Hall.

Jia She's complexion was ugly, and he just said that Jia Heng's child has no official or job, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor gave him an official position and raised him with a generous salary, which is unreasonable!

In the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Jia Rong who was slumped on the ground, and was so annoyed that he couldn't help swearing: "Trash!"

Jia Rong heard this scolding at this time, as if she was evoked the scene of being beaten and scolded by Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion, she raised her bloodshot eyes, her lips moved, but she saw that Jia Amnesty had already turned around and left.

"I'm not trash! You all wait for me, wait..."

Jia Rong's facial features were almost distorted, and she felt a wave of resentment filling her heart.

Hate Jia Zhen, hate Jia Heng, and hate Jia She...

Not to mention Jia Rong's incompetence and rage, but said that Jia Heng came out of Rongqing Hall with a Shi Shiran expression, and was about to see Dai Quan, when suddenly he saw a few Yingying and Yanyan coming from the corridor, chatting and laughing, chatting had a face-to-face meeting.

The head of the tall Miaoxiu woman, who was covering her mouth with a hookah handkerchief and smiling coquettishly, saw Jia Heng, the bright eyes of Qiushui froze under her smoky eyebrows, and she let out a soft "ah", wanting to hide, but for a moment Unable to avoid it, I had no choice but to look past the gnat's head.

Tanchun, who was talking to Xichun behind him, heard the sound, followed the sound, looked up, and saw a pair of sharp and quiet eyes.

The four eyes meet, Tanchun's heart twitches, and Xiafei's cheeks.

Jia Heng glanced at Daiyu, Baoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun, nodded at them, stepped forward across the threshold, and came to a courtyard outside.

"It's Uncle Heng, what a sharp gaze." Tan Chun pursed his cherry lips and murmured, thinking, he really is a decisive one.

Daiyu was silent for a while, and said, "He just came out of my grandmother's room."

Eight words suddenly appeared in Daiyu's mind, her eyes were sharp and she didn't dare to look directly at them.

Baoyu frowned and said, "I don't know what's going to happen again."

While talking, a group of people came from Rongqing hall in a dark way, but it was Jia Mu who came with the support of Yuanyang and other maids and servants. When she saw Baoyu, Daiyu and others, she said softly, "Why are you here? Go to my room, there are angels in the palace, don't run around."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door before he could elaborate.

Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other and said softly, "Let's take a look behind the door."

On this side, Jia Heng has seen Dai Quan again, the inner minister of the Daming Palace, still dressed in brocade robes, arrogant and arrogant, surrounded by inner guards with swords.

Dai Quan smiled and said, "Jia Heng accepts the order."

Because it is an oral order, there is no imperial edict.

"Grassman Jia Heng accepts the order."

Dai Quan's high-pitched voice also fell into the ears of Jia Mu, who came out right after him, "By the sage's orders, Jia Heng is virtuous and virtuous, and when he arrived in Ningguo, he was compassionate and compassionate to the young, and loved the clan. I really comfort him, Jiaheng is given the title of Commander of Jinyiwei, and enjoys a fourth-rank salary, and is given a flying fish waist card, which can be handed over to the palace to have an audience. This is my honor."

In the distance, Mother Jia listened to the dictation and stared at the young man who was talking to the eunuch, feeling complicated for a while.

Just now, Jia Heng resigned from the rank of third-class general, and in a blink of an eye he was given the rank of fourth-rank official with a salary. This holy family member in the palace... It can be seen that this is in the eyes of the emperor Laozi.

It is a great grace to be able to pass the sign into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.

"Jia Ziyu," Dai Quan said with a smile, "This is an official uniform, a bodyguard, and a badge. Your Majesty knows that you want an imperial examination, so there is no need to go to the Jinyiwei Mansion to fulfill your post."

Jia Heng looked calmly at the wooden tray carried by the inner guard beside him, which contained official uniforms, certificates, waist cards, etc., evaluating the impact of this incident on himself.

Seeing the young man's unfazed look, Dai Quan nodded secretly in his heart, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "The Holy Majesty heard that you were going to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits, and he was a little worried. He allocated two brocade clothes from the Zhenfu Department to protect you and provide you with You send."
