The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 688 ancestor worship
At this time, the Queen Mother who was kneeling in front of Jia Mu also understood that what happened just now was indeed a bit rude. After all, Jia Ke is the current emperor, and they are still pointing at Jia Ke. Can you be happy?

So the Queen Mother hurriedly gave Jia Baoyu, who was kneeling beside her, a wink.

Although Jia Baoyu didn't pay much attention to his studies, he was always clever. When he saw this kind of situation, he couldn't understand it. Just now, he was a little embarrassed about what he was doing.

So he knelt there and kowtowed to Jia Mu again and again, "Lafayette, I did not do my best just now, please forgive me."

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Baoyu who was kneeling there, feeling a little unbearable, so she persuaded, "Hurry up and go to accompany the Empress Dowager Zhou."

How could Jia Baoyu dare to be a little bit proud now? He didn't even dare to stand up, so he just knelt and crawled in front of the Queen Mother Zhou, kowtowing repeatedly to apologize.

The Empress Dowager Zhou didn't understand what happened just now, because when she was in Rongguo Mansion, it was common for Jia Baoyu to look down on their aunts, and she still didn't have a clear understanding of her identity.

But now she understands how honorable your status is. Although Jia Baoyu has kowtowed to herself, she is still a little unhappy, but for the sake of Jia's mother, she can only reluctantly help Jia Baoyu with a smile and comfort you. A few words.

And now Jia Ke still sat there with no expression on her face, neither said to forgive Jia Baoyu, nor said to punish Jia Baoyu.

And Jia Huan who was standing below turned his eyes straight now, he could already see that Jia Baoyu was no longer liked by Jia Ke.

So Jia Huan came out more and more people, and first came to Aunt Zhou, plopped down on her knees and said loudly: "Jia Huan, my son, please greet the Queen Mother, and may the Queen Mother have a long life."

After listening to Jia Huan's words, the Empress Dowager Zhou really smiled. This time she really helped Jia Huan up, then patted his clothes, and then let him back down.

And Jia Ke sat there and nodded, thinking that this fourth younger brother still has good eyesight, and he can benefit him in the future.

And Jia Zheng sat there without saying a word until now. He is now in a dilemma and has nothing to say.Sometimes it was a good thing that he, the father, pretended to be deaf and dumb.

When Mother Jia saw this matter, she reluctantly took it over and didn't want to entangle her any longer, so she said directly to Jia Ke, "Emperor, have all our relatives arrived now?"

Jia Ke quickly stood up, and said to Mother Jia, "Everyone from Ningrong Second Mansion has arrived."

Only then did Jia Mu nodded, and then ordered: "Since everyone is here, let's go to the Fengxian Hall to kowtow to our ancestors first."

So Jia Mu stood up first, and walked out of Ningshou Palace with the support of Yuanyang Dagong.

When they arrived outside the main hall of Ningshou Palace, the chariots were ready to get off here, and then Jia Mu got on the first chariot first, followed by Jia Zheng and Jia Ke, and then the queen mothers of the two palaces.

For the rest, even Jia Amnesty could only walk behind the chariot with two legs.

When everyone came to Fengxian Hall, it was brightly lit, with eunuchs standing on both sides for a walk.

The main hall of Fengxian Temple has been opened, and the inside is filled with cigarettes.

Jia's mother got out of the car, and with the support of Jia Zheng and Jia Ke, she took the family members of Jia's family and entered Fengxian Hall.

Looking at the portraits of Jia Mu enshrined in the Fengxian Hall, the first one is Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, and the portrait next to him is Jia Yan, the Duke of Ningguo.

Originally, the portrait of Jia Yuan, the Duke of Ning, was not eligible to be exhibited here, but Jia Mu tried her best to reject all opinions, saying that the Jia family was earned by the two Dukes desperately. Now that the Jia family is finally honored, it cannot only One enjoys offerings here, so two ancestors are offered here.

Under these two ancestors, there is only one portrait, that is Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, who is also the husband of Jiamu.

Mother Jia looked at it for a long while, tears streaming down her face involuntarily. She had been cautious for so many years, and now she finally got what she wanted, but when she thought about her husband who had left, she felt that it was not worth it.

Seeing Jia's mother standing there in a daze, Jia Zheng stepped forward and said softly, "Queen, it's almost time. If you delay, the auspicious time will pass."

Mother Jia woke up immediately, and then brought Jia's center to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors. After a cumbersome etiquette, these talents once again withdrew from Fengxian Hall, and the main entrance of Fengxian Hall was closed again.

Since then, the main gate of Fengxian Hall will not be opened, but there will be eunuchs who will replace Fengxian Hall with fresh tributes every day and burn incense three times a day.

After everyone left Fengxian Hall, they returned to Jiamu's Ningshou Palace.

Sitting in the middle, Jiamu couldn't stop smiling when she saw the children and grandchildren beside her.

Now she is considered the most honorable woman in the world, being enshrined by the people of the world, and having so many grandsons around her doing their filial piety, what is there not to be satisfied with?
Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty saw that the etiquette was over, so they came to kowtow to bid farewell to Jiamu. The two of them were going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony ahead to prepare for the banquet tonight.

According to the rules, every New Year's Eve, the royal family will have a big banquet for the guests, and all the civil and military ministers will be recruited to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so that the monarchs and ministers will have fun together.

Knowing that they were busy, Jia Mu didn't keep them, she waved them back, and then all the close members of the Jia family kowtowed and left, leaving only Jia Mu, Jia Baoyu, Jia Ke and a few others in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Jia Mu saw that Jia Baoyu was about to leave, and she felt a little bit sad, so she turned her head and said to Jia Ke: "Emperor, Baoyu doesn't have a house yet, and it's really lonely to be alone in Rongwang's mansion. Why don't you just leave him to live in the palace for a few days and stay with my old lady."

When Jia Ke heard this, she was a little unhappy. Where is this palace?This is a forbidden area of ​​three feet, Jia Baoyu is such a big man, and his reputation is not very good, he just rolls around in the flowers, and if there is any romantic affair, it will be hard to say.

But looking at Mother Jia's expectant eyes again, he swallowed back the rebuttal that came out of his mouth, and could only nod his head lightly, which was regarded as agreeing to Mother Jia's request.

When Jia's mother heard this, she was overjoyed and said to Jia Baoyu next to her, "Hurry up and thank your elder brother."

Jia Baoyu has been silent since he made a mistake just now, and has not said a word. Now that he heard Jia's mother's order, he lingered in front of Jia Ke and saluted him.

Jia Ke looked Jia Baoyu up and down, nodded and accepted his apology.

Next was the big banquet for the ministers that night, and Jia Ke naturally couldn't be absent.

This time, Jia Ke brought his two sons, King Wu and King Chu, to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sat in front of the imperial case in the center amidst the congratulations from all civil and military officials, and let the two children sit on both sides of him.

There are procedures for the New Year's Eve banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony every year. If it is a meal, there is really nothing good to eat.

So the ministers of civil and military regard this as an opportunity to connect with each other. As for eating, let's eat their own after returning home.

In this way, after the New Year's Eve banquet, Jia Ke went back to rest. Everything this year was over, and from now until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Ke could stand and rest.

Jia Ke once again issued an imperial edict on the first day of the first lunar month. During the three days on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the curfew in the capital was lifted, and the common people could come out to watch the lanterns at night, so that the world could have fun together.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything returned to calm, and Jia Ke reopened the seal to deal with major national affairs.

And the next major event in the new year is Enke. This is Jia Ke's first imperial examination since he came to the throne, and Jia Ke attaches great importance to it.

This time, Jia Ke appointed Sun Yan, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, as the examiner, and his teacher Li Wenbin continued to serve as the deputy examiner.

The news of Enke has spread all over the world, and the disciples from all over the world have gathered in the capital now, and many people have even come before the Chinese New Year.

After Sun Yan served as the chief examiner, he stayed behind closed doors at home, cautious and cautious, afraid of leaving clues to others.

In fact, Sun Yan still has one thing to worry about now, that is, will the young master come this year?

Now Sun Yan hopes that the young master will come quickly, and then be caught by Jia Ke, and he will be able to relax completely by then. Although he has completely surrendered to Jia Ke these years, he is still following Jia Ke's order to make false claims with that young master. , which made him very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, that day Sun Yan was in the study, drinking alone, suddenly there was a crash outside the study, as if something fell to the ground, and then the door of the study was knocked three times.

Sun Yan was clever when he heard the voice, it was the secret signal for the young master to contact him, so Sun Yan had no choice but to stand up and open the door.

The door was still the woman covered in black gold. After she entered the study sideways, she closed the door of the study again, and the two sat down in the study.

Sun Yan was silent for a while before he said, "What are your orders, Young Master?"

The masked woman said with a smile: "Our son has already entered the capital, this time to participate in Enke, the son is bound to win, fortunately you are the chief examiner, then it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Sun Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Do you think I can really be the master? My deputy chief exam was the emperor's teacher back then, and his status is not much lower than mine. If our son's essay is too bad, I can't deal with it." .”

The woman frowned, and then asked, "What about the exam questions? You are the examiner and you should know the exam questions, right?"

"What are you thinking? The emperor didn't discuss this year's exam questions with us at all, and we won't know until the day the exam starts."

The woman thought for a while, and then said: "Young master's article is still good, but I'm afraid there is still a gap compared with those juren. Let's think of a code, when you read this article, you will know that it is the young master." It's gone."

This request is exactly what Sun Yan wanted, "I think it would be better if there are two consecutive "Ruzhi Naihe" in the article. I can tell it is the article of the young master at a glance, so I can deal with the young master at that time."

The woman saw that this method was okay, so she didn't bother anymore, and then disappeared as quietly as when she came.

Sun Yan sat alone in the study, looking at the direction in which the woman disappeared, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
