dream of red mansion

Chapter 407

Jia Qing hurried back to Ningguo Mansion, and when he arrived at Ning'an Hall, seeing that it was Dai Quan himself who came to deliver the decree, he also knew that it must be a major event.

However, looking at the smile on Dai Quan's face when he saw him, Jia Qing knew that his guess was true. It didn't make sense that after he had just done an errand for the emperor, the emperor didn't say he was kind, but wanted to make fun of himself. No way.

"It turned out that it was Mr. Dai who came to visit, and it really made the humble house luxuriant, luxuriant."

Jia Qing would still say things like this.Not to mention that Dai Quan is one of the most powerful inner eunuchs in the palace, but because of his good relationship with Jia's mansion, he must smile on his face.

Dai Quan also smiled and said: "General Jia, you are being polite, I will talk about gossip later, General Jia will accept the order first."

Lai Sheng and others had already prepared the incense table, so Jia Qing knelt down to receive the order.Dai Quan opened the imperial decree and read:
".
Here is his great-grandson Jia Qing, who inherits the grace of the heavens and ancestors, and cultivates the heart of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, clever and flexible, young and promising.According to the orders of Jiangnan and his party, they should observe the Sacred Heart, act cautiously, experience experience and experience, without spending a single soldier, wipe out the Bailian banditry that has plagued Jiangnan for decades, confiscated millions of properties of the White Lotus Sect, and reported all of them to the national treasury
There are no mistakes in all these things, and I am very relieved.

The imperial court won this young talent, how can I begrudgingly bestow it on me?
Special title: hereditary Ning Guogong first-class divine power general.

Bestow! "

Jia Qing listened carefully.This is a very formal decree.In front of it is the praise of the Great Chu Empire, and the merits of the ancestors of the Jia family, Ning and Rong, are mentioned, and then transferred to Jia Qing.
"General Jia, are you still not accepting the order?" After Dai Quan finished reading, seeing Jia Qing still kneeling, he reminded him.

"My minister leads the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Jia Qing took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up.

"Congratulations General Jia"

The smile on Dai Quan's face was very strong.

Originally, the hereditary title of the founding of the country was noble, but fortunately the founding emperor had the foresight to set down the rules of succession from generation to generation.In this way, if the younger generation has no talents, the imperial court does not have to provide too many high-ranking but useless wastes in vain.

This is also in line with the truth of the saying "A gentleman's luster will be cut for five generations".

However, after all, after meritorious deeds, the imperial court could not be doomed because of this, and he would not be able to have a career.The imperial court must also show kindness and righteousness to win people's hearts.

Therefore, those who are outstanding after these meritorious deeds are often easier to stand out.The emperor also used this to show his kindness to meritorious ministers and their descendants.

However, this kind of favor is usually given to officials with special gifts, such as Jia Zheng (in fact, Jia Zheng is quite outstanding, haha), or to give important tasks, such as the King of Beijing. But if you want to become a noble, it is very difficult!

The emperor will also intentionally suppress the matter of entering the rank, after all, once he is generously favored to enter the rank, he is trampling on the raid system!No emperor would be so stupid.

But no matter what, after meritorious deeds, it is definitely a hundred times easier to obtain the same title than ordinary people who make meritorious deeds!
All in all, becoming a noble is definitely the greatest joy for the noble family, which represents the momentum of returning to the prestige of the ancestors.

"Thank you. Manager Dai also invites you to drink tea inside."

"I won't bother you today, I have to return to the palace to return to my life, next time."

As Dai Quan said, he was about to call Xiao Huangmen to leave.

"Then I'll send Manager Lai off." As Jia Qing said, he walked up to Dai Quan and quietly handed over a stack of bank notes.

This is also a common practice, Dai Quan will not refuse naturally, squeezed the thickness of the bank note, the smile on Dai Quan's face became stronger, and said: "General Jia stay behind."

The atmosphere in the back house of Xue's family still hasn't dissipated. Although it's not as dull as before, everyone also started talking, but they all felt a little cautious.At this time, even Wang Xifeng dared not speak loudly, for fear of arousing Jia's mother's disgust.

This situation did not change until Jia Lian's arrival.

Jia Lian almost got off his horse and ran straight into Xue's back house, forgetting all the rules, and the maids and women on the way knew that something big was going to happen, so they didn't dare to stop them a little bit.

"Old ancestor, great joy!"

Still far away, Jia Lian couldn't help but began to preach loudly.

Jia's mother and others left their seats one after another to meet Jia Lian, who came quickly along the Chaoshou corridor.

Seeing the joy on Jia Lian's face, the sorrow on Jia Mu's face finally dissipated, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Lian didn't stop until he got close, and regardless of his panting appearance, he said happily: "Going back to the ancestors, I am very happy with the second brother, the emperor has promoted the title of the second brother."

"Really? Is it really a noble promotion?"

"It's absolutely true! Now the second brother is a first-class Shenwei general. When I came over, the second brother was packing up and going to the palace to thank you. I really can't be more true."

"Good, good, good!"

Jia Mu kept laughing, the smile on her face was the brightest since Yuan Chun became a concubine!
That's great, this is the first time since Jia Daishan's death that the Jia family has changed their posture of being a nobility, and instead went back. This is the fundamental guarantee for the Jia family to continue to be rich.

that's nice
"Congratulations, old lady." Aunt Xue looked dazed for a moment, and was the first to congratulate Jia Mu.

Others also reacted and congratulated Jia Mu one after another.

"Okay." Mother Jia laughed, and then slowly sat back on the table with the support of others.

After everyone sat down, Mother Jia suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Qing said in the morning that the emperor just asked him to go home to rest, and he would be rewarded with an official in a short time.

I didn't believe it at first, thinking he was talking big.Who knows, it really is like this"

Compared with being promoted from third-class general to first-class general, the title of fifth-rank Beijing official is really insignificant!

"Brother Qing is such a good boy and capable. The emperor naturally likes it. He is not willing to punish him. Now it's fine." Aunt Xue was naturally happy to speak well at such a festive time.

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Today can be regarded as a double happiness. It's a joy for Bao girl to celebrate her birthday. It's also a joy to meet Brother Qing again. It's such a good day. We should eat more." Auntie has a few drinks, don't think that we are the ones."

Aunt Xue was slightly taken aback. Mother Jia's words seemed to have some meaning.But Mother Jia didn't say much, so naturally she wouldn't say much, so she just said: "What did the old lady say? It's because the old lady thinks highly of me. I don't think I have anything to say.

Bao girl, come up quickly and pour wine for the old lady and your aunt. "

"Going back yesterday, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

In the South Study Room, Jia Qing heard Emperor Zhengqing's words, and said in his heart: Even if there is resentment, you still have to dare to say it if you ask me that!

"Your Majesty thinks the minister is too stingy. The official position of the minister was originally rewarded by His Majesty. His Majesty thinks that the minister is not suitable for the job. Naturally, he can take it back at any time. How dare the minister complain about this.

Besides, although the little minister is dull, he also knows that His Majesty must have other considerations to dismiss the little minister.The minister is young and immoral, and has no foresight, so it is entirely up to His Majesty to take care of him.Therefore, regarding His Majesty's decision, the minister only needs to resolutely obey. Anyway, I know that His Majesty will never treat the minister badly. "

Emperor Zhengqing said: "You will say that as for your official position, you don't need to think about it for the time being. Go back and study hard, and I will be of great use in the future. Well, you go down, and don't forget to report to the clan mansion."

"Yes, the minister will leave."
