Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 484 The wedding date has been set
"Hey, the Marquis is here, and the arrogance of being granted the title of Marquis has become more serious today. If you don't come, the old lady will send eight sedans to carry you." Sister Feng said with a smile.

Seeing her belly gradually swelling, Jia Cong resisted the urge to touch her and said with a smile, "There are a lot of things going on outside, and I've been busy with the old lady for too long. It's Cong's fault."

Jia Mu was impatient to wait. She had been pampered and pampered for decades. When could she wait so long to hire a junior? But considering that Jia Cong is already the Marquis of Huan, that’s all. It’s a happy event for the family.

Yin smiled and scolded: "You have so many things to do, so becoming the Marquis of Wu is even more busy than Grandpa Qi being the Duke of the country. Did I call you here just to talk nonsense? I'm going to be the Prince Consort soon, and I don't care about it at all. Are you the son-in-law for me?"

Everyone laughed and praised Jia Cong again, saying that the old lady had trained him well and that his ancestors had blessed him.

Only Mrs. Wang looked calm and smiled, as if it was not a happy event but a funeral.

Mrs.

At that moment, Jia Mu sent someone to call Jia Zheng and Tu Fa.

After the ceremony, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Master Tu, what are your dates?"

Tu Fa hurriedly bowed and repeated his previous remarks.

Jia Cong looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Tu is proficient in astrology and numerology, and has wonderful calculations. Cong has always worshiped him. I wonder if there are any days in the first lunar month?"

Mother Jia frowned and said, "There are only two days left for the Chinese New Year. It's too hasty to set it in the first month. Many things may not be in place. If there are any shortcomings, it will make people laugh."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Am I not in a hurry to get married and have children so that the old lady can be happy? The sooner I get married, the sooner the old lady will have her grandson. I am very filial."

Everyone laughed.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "This is the first time I heard that marriage is done for the elders. As we are so busy these days, it is all in vain, and we still have no love.

Sure enough, he is a good grandson raised by the old lady. One said that getting married is a filial piety, and the other said that he would help his brother take care of things. No one owed any favors. Isn't this Tai Chi and calling people in vain? I don't agree. Whether it's the old lady or Cong'er, whoever pays for the errands should be discussed first. "

Jia Mu laughed so hard that she pointed at Wang Xifeng and said, "Quickly tear her mouth apart. She talks a lot and cares about everything. She is afraid that someone will lose her."

Youshi hurriedly helped Sister Feng sit down and said with a smile: "You are already pregnant, so why not be more dignified? Carefully give birth to a monkey like you, that will look good."

Sister Feng stroked her belly and said with a smile: "Since my sister-in-law said so, you will have to take the trouble to carry it for me when the time comes, and I won't bother to care."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Jia Cong said: "What the old lady said makes sense, but Mr. Tu is an expert and has seen countless good fortunes. Let's just listen to what he means."

Everyone nodded.

When Tu Fa saw Jia Cong's eyes, he already knew it and said with a smile: "Originally, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month was a very good day, better than the following days. However, because my former son, the Marquis, was away fighting a rebellion and didn't know when he would return, he resigned. No words. Now that Mr. Hou is back, it will naturally fall into place.

There is no need to worry, old lady, there is still more than half a month left, so hurry up and it will be enough. What's more, the Marquis has a distinguished family, and everyone in the court highly respects him. For such a happy event, if you just say hello, why don't the people in the Ministry of Rites and the Clan's Mansion rush to fawn over you?

Moreover, if something went wrong with the Queen's marriage, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion would be the first to suffer misfortune. Therefore, let alone half a month, even if there were still three to five days, they would never dare to make any omissions. This festival is very important. You can rest assured. "

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "What Master Tu said is absolutely true. I think the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is very good."

Jia Mu felt relieved after hearing this. Seeing Jia Cong's impatient look, she glared at him angrily and said, "Then it's settled."

In fact, according to her opinion, it would be better to schedule it in March or April, which would give more time for preparation and make it more respectable.

Tu Fa smiled and said: "In that case, I will resign and I will inform the emperor."

Jia Cong stood up and Jia Zheng sent him out.

"Master Tu has worked tirelessly for me, and Cong has no repayment. Sister Ping'er, give Master Tu 10,000 silver to show your concern."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Ping'er smiled slightly, nodded and went out.

Tu Fa was overjoyed. He came just for this reason and hurriedly declined: "This... this is too much. It's just a trivial matter. I would never dare to receive a generous gift from Lord Marquis."

Jia Zheng smiled and advised: "It's just a small gift, but it's not respect. What's it worth? Brother Jun Si has racked his brains for this matter, and everyone in our house feels it is a great virtue."

What kind of good friends could Fatty Feng have? Jia Cong smiled and said: "If Lord Tu doesn't accept it, he will look down on me. Brother Zhengfang and you are both good friends, so we are just like good friends. Why should we be pretentious?"

Tu Fa then "reluctantly" raised his hands and said, "Then I will be disrespectful to you, and I will be ashamed of myself. Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness."

"Master Tu is too polite." Jia Cong dismissed him with a smile.

Seeing no one else around, Li Wan went in and brought out all his sisters to congratulate Jia Cong on his promotion.

"Congratulations to my third brother for being promoted to Marquis of Wu and bringing glory to our family," Yingchun said.

"Congratulations to Third Brother on your young success, you will be granted the title of Marquis immediately." Tan Chun said.

"Brother Cong, this Huanhou weighs more than a thousand men, so he can be regarded as the first person under the duke." Xiangyun said with a smile.

"Brother Cong, congratulations," Baoyu said with a forced smile.

"That's right, with my third brother's outstanding military exploits, there is no guarantee that he will be crowned a prince in the future. The ancestors would be jealous of Le Shi Wuhuan's feat." Jia Huan said with dignity.

Everyone laughed when they saw his Yourongyan look.

Tan Chun rolled his eyes at him and said: "You're talking nonsense again, please be careful that your ancestors blame you. Our ancestors chased death and fled north to rebuild the world. What kind of achievements can you make?"

Jia's mother also spat: "It's a dirty seed. You don't know how high the sky is when you go out. You actually chew the root of your ancestor's tongue. It should be beaten." Jia Huan quickly gave up and said with a smile: "What the old lady taught me is that if Mr. Huan is not careful, he will talk nonsense." I have offended my ancestors, please forgive me, old lady."

Jia Cong smiled slightly and was about to say a few good words to Jia Huan when he suddenly saw a graceful beauty walking towards her. She said with a blessing, "My nephew and wife congratulate my third uncle for quelling the banditry. He has been made a general and will leave his name in history."

It was Qin Keqing.

Jia Cong was aroused by her soft and weak voice, and suddenly felt half of his body numb. He subconsciously raised his hand to help her, but suddenly remembered that there were many people and hurriedly retracted his hand.

He smiled dryly and said: "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, um... are you still used to living there? Your Majesty has given me the East Mansion. If you and your sister-in-law want to go back to live there, you can just move back at any time."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward. Jia Cong came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I said the wrong thing. Why can't I say anything when I see her? How could any uncle bring his nephew and daughter-in-law home?" ? Still so public.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness." Qin Keqing blushed and was too embarrassed to speak. She hurriedly stood behind Youshi and almost buried her head in her towering chest.

Sister Feng sneered slightly on the side, this perverted fox's tail was exposed again, and he still pretended to be a serious person with me.

Jia Cong saw that the atmosphere was a little weird and quickly added: "I didn't mean that..."

Everyone looked at each other, and their suspicions became a little more serious. Isn't this self-inflicted? Could it be that Brother Cong...

Seeing that the paint was getting darker and darker, Jia Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly. He simply closed his mouth and looked at Sister Feng, asking her to come to the rescue.

Sister Feng snorted softly, pretending not to see his eyes, and turned her head away arrogantly, not to look at him.

Mother Jia really couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly scolded Jia Cong for being dishonest and glared at him.

Said: "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law have just come here, why are they going back to that sad place? Now that Feng Yatou is getting heavy, and she is being ordered around by you every day, they are here, and I still have someone to talk to. Son.

You take them over, and those who know say you mean well, but those who don’t know may be chewing maggots behind their backs.

You are also a noble prince now, so you need to think more carefully about what you say and do, so as not to make a joke and embarrass your ancestors. "

Everyone secretly praised the old lady for being smooth and sophisticated. Her words not only smoothed the situation for Brother Cong, but also secretly woke him up.

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "What the old lady said is that Cong didn't think it through well. My eldest sister-in-law and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law are still here to accompany the old lady Gao Le. It's a decent thing, and it can be regarded as fulfilling their filial piety for me by waiting for my unworthy descendants."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "This sentence makes sense."

All the girls smiled and nodded.

Seeing Qin Keqing's shy and timid look, Sister Feng winked at her, "Don't worry, your aunt knows about it."

Qin Keqing's heart skipped a beat, her head hung lower, and even her neck was stained with red clouds.

In fact, Sister Feng was a little ashamed when she saw Qin Keqing. She had promised to help her matchmaking, but she didn't expect to get herself involved first. Now some rumors have spread, but Qing must know that the little bastard in her belly is the seed of that pervert. It's so embarrassing.

No, we must drag Ke Qing into trouble as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can we be embarrassed to meet him in the future? Sister Feng thought about it in her mind. As for Jia Cong's thoughts, she didn't consider it at all. That bastard had never seen a woman's virtue in eight lifetimes. Who else would be unhappy?
Jia Mu changed the subject and said with a smile: "You came back just in time. I have something to say to you. The two ladies from Yun Yatou's family came to see me and said that the old lady from Uncle Linchuan's family wanted to help his family. What do you think about this young man asking to marry Yun Yatou?”

When this matter was mentioned, all the girls looked at Xiangyun with smiles.

"Old lady...what are you talking about? Yun'er wants to stay with you for a few more years..." Xiangyun was so ashamed that she threw herself into Jia Mu's arms and started acting coquettishly.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? It's time for men to get married and women to get married. Don't you think you'll come to see me after you leave the pavilion?"

Everyone laughed.

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said: "Linchuan Bowei's family, is this boy Wei Ruolan?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Of course it's him. No one in the Wei family is worthy of Xiangyun except him."

"Go away, what are you talking about?" Xiangyun glared at Baoyu and spat, causing another burst of laughter. However, Xiangyun has always been bold and heroic, and was teased by everyone. Although he was shy, he did not leave.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Has Xiangyun seen Wei Ruolan?"

Shi Xiangyun blushed and shook his head. This is common sense. Ladies generally do not see foreign men unless they are close relatives.

Sister Feng asked hurriedly: "Cong'er, please tell me how this guy Wei Ruolan is doing. If he is good, that's fine. If there is anything bad, tell Mr. and Mrs. Shi as soon as possible that we have returned to this family."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "This time I am going on an expedition. Uncle Wei Shishu, the uncle of Linchuan, and brother Ruolan, the eldest son of Linchuan, are also going with me. Speaking of Ruolan, he is a handsome and elegant character, and his martial arts are also passable. Although He's much worse than me, but he's a good match."

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "I asked you to tell me what the Wei family boy is like, but you are bragging about yourself. You are not ashamed. According to you, what can this family member do?"

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, vaguely remembering that Xiangyun was assigned to Wei Ruolan in the original work. Although he didn't know the details, the end was definitely not a good one, that was for sure.

It was just based on his observation that Wei Ruolan had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and had a very strict family education. She was by no means comparable to a short-lived ghost like Jia Zhu. Moreover, she had no bad deeds and was not a troublemaker. How could she have a troubled marriage?
Thinking about it, if they are around in this life, the fates of Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan will change accordingly.

Yin nodded and said: "From Cong's point of view, this marriage is a good one. Today, the Holy Emperor not only promoted him to the title of Count Linchuan, but also gave Brother Ruolan an additional title of fifth-rank Yunqi Lieutenant. He can be regarded as a young hero."

"Congratulations, Girl Yun." Everyone smiled and congratulated.

"Okay, okay." Jia Mu also smiled and nodded.
