dream of red mansion

Chapter 752
While talking, suddenly a woman came back in a hurry, saying that there was a businessman coming from Ningguo Mansion, and asked Jia Qing to go back quickly.

Jia Mu's heart moved, and she hurriedly ordered Jia Qing to go back.

Just as Jia Qing was about to leave, another butler rushed in to reply without hesitation, saying that the messenger had already come to Rongqingtang, and he didn't need to answer.

This surprise was no small matter, Mother Jia couldn't sit still, and hurriedly shouted: "Let's go, let's go out!"

So a group of people filed out, and as soon as they came out, they saw an old eunuch striding in from the opposite hall with an imperial edict.

"Quick, get down."

Jia Mu hurriedly asked everyone to go down the steps and kneel down to meet them.

More than half of the people present have never received the imperial edict, but with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in front, they only need to follow behind.

The huge courtyard was soon filled with figures of flowers, flowers, willows and green flowers.

Dai Quan walked in casually with a meticulous expression on his face.

Going around the crowd, came to the front of the steps, condescendingly looked around, and said: "Jia Qing accepts the order!"

"The minister accepts the order."

Jia Qing originally knelt behind Mrs. Wang, but now she knelt to the front.

"By heaven, the emperor ordered:

In a family of loyalty and filial piety, it is easy to produce filial sons, and in a country of zealotry, good ministers will surely appear!Er Jiaqing is the fourth grandson of Jia Yan, Duke of Ning, the founder of the country, and the son of Jia Jing, the first-class supernatural general.
The righteousness of your nature, the goodness of your conduct, Yunwen Yunwu, the four directions.

Wu has the courage to lead the army to defeat the enemy, and the talent to assist the country and the people.

Such a good minister of the country, how can I begrudge the honor and favor?Zijiafenger: The hereditary first-class marquis of Ningguo Duke, bestowing a purple python with a golden belt.

Another special gift: ten thousand taels of gold, one royal garden, three Huangzhuang, ten royal horses, fifty palace brocades, one hundred colorful satins, one palace chariot, here.

It was March 11th in the [-]th year of Dachu Zhengqing. "

"Marquis Ning, accept the decree and thank you!"

Dai Quan said with a smile.

Not to mention that the women of the Jia family were all shocked and inexplicable, even Dai Quan, the head of the Daming Palace, felt his heart skip a beat when he thought of those rewards.

Golden ten thousand taels.
Dai Quan smacked his lips, but thinking of how much Jia Qing had contributed to Emperor Zhengqing, Dai Quan felt that 1 taels of gold was not much.

On the contrary, it's a bit stingy.

"Minister, thank you for your decree, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Jia Qing took the imperial edict, turned around and helped Jia Mu up.

"My servant has seen Mrs. Tai." Dai Quan saluted Jia Mu slightly.

"Please do not give up the courtesy, please drink tea inside"

Dai Quan shook his head and said: "Thank you Madam Tai, but the servant and the emperor are alive, so I don't dare to delay any longer, so I won't bother you."

Suddenly a eunuch from the Yellow Gate came to Dai Quan and whispered a few words, Dai Quan took a list and said to Jia Qing: "Marquis Ning, except for the imperial horse and palace chariot, all the other rewards from His Majesty are here. Now, do you want some for Marquis Ning?"

"Director Dai is joking." Jia Qing smiled, took the list, took out a bank note and stuffed it into Dai Quan's hand, saying: "Small things don't count as respect, Manager Dai took it for tea."

This kind of thing between the two of them is not once or twice, they are all familiar with each other.Dai Quan didn't pay much attention, just glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasure to explain to Ninghou, haha."

Another salute to Jia Mu, Dai Quan didn't stay much.He had already seen that the sisters of Jia's family were staring at the things covered with yellow silk, almost wanting to see through them, so he didn't delay them to share their joy.

He would come here to announce the decree, originally he understood Emperor Zhengqing's meaning and specially honored Jia Qing.What is honor, what is seen by more people is called honor.

Jia Qing personally sent him out.

When he came back, he saw Jia Mu and others were still standing in the hallway.The sisters were all around the boxes and shelves in the yard, obviously full of curiosity, but no one opened them to look.

Jia Qing looked at it and said with a smile: "Why, are you still reluctant to reveal it?"

The sisters didn't answer, they didn't know that Jia Qing would be named Marquis before.Until today, when the imperial decree came down, and seeing the yellow and clear imperial gifts covering the courtyard again, one can imagine the shock in my heart.

Only Jiamu and the others were prepared and not so gaffe, she smiled and said: "These are all given to you by the emperor, how can we reveal your favor in advance."

"Hey, what's the matter." Jia Qing waved his hand and ordered the maids to say: "Open them all, so that everyone can be happy!"

"Wow!"

As the silk was uncovered and the box was opened, the bright and dazzling golden satin and other things instantly filled the eyes of everyone.The little girl with a shallow city mansion couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

Jia Qing said in a haughty voice: "Everyone can pick whatever they like, choose whatever they like, and whoever takes their fancy will get it!"

"Nonsense!" Mother Jia scolded, "These things can reward people indiscriminately?"

Jia Qing chuckled, he was just talking casually.Even if he really wanted to, they should dare to take it.

Among other things, the deeds of the Huangzhuang and the gardens are worth tens of thousands of gold. If the maids took them, would he really be able to give them to them?
Uh, probably not such a bold girl.

Mother Jia glared at him, but couldn't help but take a closer look with her old eyes.

Five and a half tall chests, full of gold ingots.On more than a dozen fir shelves, more than 100 palace brocade satins are lined up.Such a magnificent scene fascinated her rich eyes.

This kind of reward is really too thick.

She is someone who has seen great rewards, and knows that there must be other reasons for such extraordinary rewards.

Perhaps, this is the credit for rewarding him for offering food.

Thinking of it this way, Mother Jia didn't know what to think.

100 million shi of grain, even in normal times, is worth a full 200 ​​million taels of silver.What's more, under the circumstances at that time, it was no problem to double it.

She also heard that Jia Qing owed a whole lot of money for this, even the Xue family still owed a lot.
What is the use of this 1 taels of gold?

Thinking about it again, the emperor promoted him to Marquis, which is a wealth that cannot be bought with money.This matter is really hard to say.

Jia Qing didn't have time to pay attention to Jia's mother's thoughts. He walked up to the sisters and looked at what color and style of satin they all liked, and it was time to deliver them.
There are so many palace brocade satins, and they can't be put up for auction, so naturally they want to give some of them to the sisters.

Jia Qing even wondered if Emperor Zhengqing saw that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had too much inventory and sent it to him on purpose!

150 bolts of brocade are enough to make gorgeous new clothes for all the slaves and maids in the family.

If Emperor Zhengqing knew his thoughts, he would probably jump up and give him a kick!
It's not enough for him to reward people for these precious things, how could there be a backlog?

If it weren't for the imperial court's need for money everywhere, it would be a huge amount of money to immediately reward hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three armies.Otherwise, he would rather give Jia Qing the full amount of money he needed to buy food, lest he make up for him by making up for him, and gain the reputation of taking advantage of his courtiers.

"The color of this satin is good, it suits the skin color of the third sister, why don't I keep all these for the third sister?"

"There are too many, I don't need so much, half a horse is enough for me at most."

Tanchun blushed slightly.

She also looked at this fabric for a long time, no wonder Jia Qing paid attention to her.

If it weren't for Jia Qing's precious colorful satin, she wouldn't ask for it. More than 100 horses, how long will it take to run out!

It is worth mentioning that a piece of brocade is four feet long, that is, more than ten meters; wide, it is about as tall as a shorter woman, and usually one piece of cloth is enough to make five clothes. Save some fabric and make a Seven or eight pieces are also feasible.

"What's that? If you don't need it, you can use it as a reward or give it away." Jia Qing said casually, calling Qin Shi over and telling her to remember this material before walking away.

Looking at his figure, Tanchun suddenly burst into tears.

Jia Qing turned around twice, and encouraged Xing Xiuyan and Li sisters who were still alive to pick out satin, but when they turned around, they saw Xichun touching this and that in front of a large box of gold ingots.

Jia Qing walked over, patted her head and said, "You are such a little money fanatic. My sisters are all looking at satin, but you are here counting gold ingots!"

Xichun raised her small nose and said, "They missed today so they don't have to see it. Will they move into the library in the future? Isn't it our family? I can pick it up slowly."

Jia Qing rubbed her head again, and said: "You are right, you are indeed my dear sister."

Xichun turned her head away, avoiding Jia Qing's hand, and said again:
"It's these golden treasures. I'm afraid I won't be able to see them in the future. They all said that my brother owed money outside, and I'm afraid these things won't be kept in our house for long."

Jia Qing smiled brightly: "Who told you this?"

"Sister Zhou (from Zhou Rui's family) and they all said that." Xichun suddenly felt a little ashamed that she couldn't help her brother at all.

Jia Qing shook his head and said: "They are all liars, brother, I am not short of money! Since my sister likes it, then I will carry them all to my sister's room, how about it?"

"what?"

When Xichun heard Jia Qing say that he was not short of money, she was happy for him, but then hesitated when she heard what happened next.After thinking about it, if someone else entered her room and all eyes were full of golden gold, she would feel that the smell of copper was too heavy, and it was the feeling of a villain getting rich.

Moreover, we have to guard against other people's misgivings, taking advantage of others and so on.

"I don't want it any more, just carry it to the warehouse and store it." Xichun said.

"Hahaha."

Jia Qing played the role of the rich man to his heart's content, Jia Mu was not happy, and called him: "If you show off enough, quickly lift your things out of my yard, don't block my eyes."

Jia Qing smiled and said, "Don't you choose two horses, old ancestor?"

Jia Mu said: "I am not short of those things. If you are willing to leave these gold ingots to me, then I will be very happy, and I am afraid that you will not give up."

Jia Qing turned around and showed Xichun an apologetic smile, then said: "Okay, since the old ancestor likes Huang Chengcheng's things, then it's better to stay here."

A chrysanthemum bloomed on Jia Mu's face, and she said cheerfully, "Really?"

"A gentleman's word!"

"Hehehe, you, it's good if you have this kind of heart! Take all your things away, old lady, I still have my own money, so I don't need to worry about your money."

Mother Jia didn't treat money like dung, she was a person who wanted face, so naturally she couldn't seriously accept Jia Qing's gold.

That's no different than robbing.

After talking for a while, everyone left slowly, only You Shi and Qin Shi stayed to continue cleaning and packing, while Jia Qing and others surrounded Jia Mu and walked into the house.

Wang Xifeng laughed loudly and said: "Brother Qing, the old ancestor is noble, I don't want your satin, but I want it. For the few kinds of fabrics I chose just now, give me a few of each variety, I won't accept without it!"

Jia Qing immediately told Jia's mother: "Look at her, old ancestor, she is clearly a sister-in-law. Instead of saying that you will reward your younger brothers and sisters with more good things, you are still thinking about my things! It's nothing more than thinking about it, other sisters I tried my best to evade, and I wanted as little as possible. She is the only one who wants so many black-hearted ones. In my opinion, I’m afraid I wish I could move all the satin on the dozen shelves to her room!"

"Hahaha" everyone was amused.

Wang Xifeng didn't feel ashamed, and came over to pull Jia Qing and said: "Now I know that my heart hurts? Who told you to pretend to be generous just now, now it's too late to regret it now, and the old ancestors will testify."

"Come on, let's be unlucky to meet you."

Jia Qing didn't want to tease her anymore, he was afraid that she would climb directly onto him.Just like that, the two groups of peaks were rubbing back and forth against his arm.

"Hehe, by the way, the purple python gold belt that the emperor gave you, put it on and show us!"

"There's nothing to see."

"No, just take a look, I haven't seen what a purple python gold belt looks like!"

"Uh, it's too late today, let's try another day."

Jia Qing looked at the sky, he still had a lot of things to do.

　I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival and family reunion.
