The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 72 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

At the same time, the Ningguo Mansion in Jiangning was full of guests at a banquet, and it was very lively, and they had no idea that the aunt had passed away.

After the ceremony was completed and sent into the bridal chamber, Wang Xifeng sat on the bedside and waited for a long time, but Jia Dai did not arrive.

When she got up early this morning, Wang Xifeng was pulled out of bed by her old nanny, and she went to dress up in the dark. She only ate a little pastry cushion in the process.

By now, seven or eight hours had passed and it was the second watch. Wang Xifeng felt empty in her stomach and angry, so she pulled off her red scarf.

Ping'er, the dowry maid on the side, exclaimed,

"Miss, I can't help it. It's unreasonable. I'd better wait until my uncle comes..."

Suddenly, Wang Xifeng screamed like a mouse whose foot had been stepped on, "What is it that can't be done?"

"Their men are allowed to eat and feast outside. Why should my aunt have to wait hungry?"

"No matter what the rules are, it's just a matter of men violating our rules."

"Since I have become the housekeeper and wife of Ningguo Mansion, these annoying things should be changed soon..."

Ping'er naturally couldn't stop Wang Xifeng from being a domineering figure. Finally, when Wang Xifeng had eaten some food, she carefully cleaned up the mess.

Yang came to Wang's wife and set up a table of wine and food in the new house, so that when Jia Dai came, he would not be happy and would have a quarrel with Wang Xifeng, which would cause disharmony between the husband and wife and disharmony in the family.

Wang Xifeng enjoyed it for once and couldn't bear Ping'er nagging beside her. She gargled her mouth and cleaned her hands, so she sat impatiently on the bedside, waiting for Jia Dai to return to the room and complete the last ceremony without any regrets.

However, the dragon and phoenix red candles were burned out, and the golden rooster croaked the dawn, leaning on the bedside. When Wang Xifeng woke up, Jia Dai was still nowhere to be seen. They drank the Hexin wine together and became a serious couple.

The next day, after washing up, Wang Xifeng changed her clothes, put her hair into a bridal bun, and went out with only Ping'er and Lai Wang's family. The dissatisfaction on her pretty face could be seen by everyone.

They were all hiding from Wang Xifeng's master and servant at a distance, and finally caught a little maid who was alone. After asking, she found out that Jia Dai had been seriously injured when she returned home yesterday.

Xiren (Hua Zhenzhu, who had been renamed by Jia Dai) took a bath and applied a dose of plaster. Then Jia Dai went to the front hall to entertain guests. Afterwards, he rested in the outer study for the night.

Jia Dai's outer study room belonged to the front yard, and women could not go there easily. Wang Xifeng stamped her feet anxiously, but stopped at the Neiyi Gate.

Suddenly, after a while, news came from the front yard, saying that it was the decree from Shenjing. Because Jia Dai bravely fought against the Japanese pirates and saved the holy driver, the court rewarded him based on his merits, issued an imperial edict to commend him, and was promoted to a first-class uncle.

The servants in the mansion rushed to tell each other, clamoring to go to Miss Qin's place to tell the master what he wanted, prepare a banquet, and invite relatives and friends to celebrate.

According to the rules of the Jia family, an unmarried girl is more noble and decent than a daughter-in-law who marries into the family.

Girls can sit down to eat, while wives can only serve dishes and stand in a disciplined manner, and Ningguo Mansion is no exception.

There are two hundred people in the old house of Ningguo Mansion. There are not many things that happen every day, but there are maybe ten or twenty.

It's not very complicated, it's all done as usual and left to Qin Keqing to decide.

In the past few months, the maids, mothers-in-law, and housekeepers' wives have become accustomed to going to the inner house to report to Qin Keqing whenever something happens.

On the contrary, he completely forgot about the new wife. Wang Xifeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth and tore up the handkerchief in her hands.

There have never been such rules in the world. If you let your daughter-in-law take care of the house and teach a girl who has not yet left the palace to take charge of the house, there is a lot of trouble in Jia's house!
Only when he gets his rights back and becomes powerful can he place escorts in strategic locations so that he can deal with these shameless servants.

I have to change the bullshit rules of Ningguo Mansion and let them know that my aunt is great.

Wang Xifeng's eyes were wandering, and he sent Lai Wang to the front hall to inquire about the news. At the same time, he went to Qin Keqing's room to meet this "Miss Qian" who had a transcendent status in the mansion.

By the way, when Jia Dai woke up, his chest and arms hurt terribly. He deeply regretted the cruel tricks played by his predecessors, and wondered whether he would get tetanus and die young.

Just when he was regretting it, Yizhi did not wait for Concubine Li to question him, but instead received the imperial edict of commendation from Shenjing.

"Eunuch Li, your majesty, please give me an explanation." After Jia Daishan said long live and thanked him, he took the imperial edict and put it away with both hands. A two hundred taels of silver note was quietly transferred to Li Zhongxian's hand. His eyes were dazzled and he disappeared in an instant. .

"Your Majesty is full of praise for General Jia. We only need to wait for now. When we return to Shenjing, he will be of great use again..."

After receiving the check, Li Zhongxian's attitude improved by three points. He smiled brightly and was not at all as sinister as outsiders said.

However, it is true that money makes people jealous.

This Li Zhongxian is no one else, but one of Xia Shouzhong's godsons. Even though he looks young, he has been in the palace for fifteen years and holds the position of head of the Dongchang stall.
Even the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Feng Tang, had to be polite and obey orders when he saw him.

This guy was very talkative. Li Zhongxian said everything, but it seemed like he didn't say anything at all.

Jia Dai is already an official and a general in the capital camp. If he rises further, Wang Ziteng may have to make room for him.

After six months of reorganization, the Beijing camp has undergone a major change. From the original sixty-four guards, it has been transformed into a twelve regiment camp with 180,000 troops under its command, which is half less than before.

Whether the combat power has been improved or not is unknown.

However, the nobles' financial path through drinking soldiers' blood was completely cut off by Prince Teng.

How many people are secretly hoping for bad luck for him!

According to Emperor Taikang's character, he never had a good impression of court ministers who came from noble families.

Being mean and ungrateful, just throwing it away after use, without any psychological burden at all.

This is the fate of Wang Ziteng in the original "A Dream of Red Mansions".

After rectifying the capital camp, Emperor Taikang was raised and secretly sent out to inspect the border.

On the way back to Beijing, he died in mysterious circumstances.

Jia Dai still wanted to live for a few more years, so he naturally did not want to be Emperor Taikang's pawn and directly confront the powerful nobles.

He actually wanted to be like Niu Jizong, personally in charge of an army outside, without offending both sides, and having both sides.

However, the chance of this is very slim.

Jia Dai has always lived cautiously, preferring to stay away from the right and wrong places in Shenjing.

Wang Ziteng transferred the old troops of the Jia family one by one and dispersed them to Liaodong and Jinling provinces.

Even with such concessions, Emperor Taikang's party still pressed forward step by step, unwilling to give him any real power.

Determined to take the Jia family's sacrificial sword, he completely took away the military power of the founding heroes.

Also, across the two mansions of the East and West, only Jia Dai serves in the army in the Jia family, and there are two or three other kittens, all of whom are useless low-level civil servants.

Emperor Taikang happened to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

If Jia Dai were Emperor Taikang, he would do the same thing.

Ever since Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan listened to the hints of the late emperor and the Supreme Emperor, turned from military to civil, and secretly controlled the military power, today's results will be achieved.

"Uncle Jia, please stay."

"You were injured and your body is not cheap. You have been recuperating in the house these past few days. This is also the intention of the emperor. You cannot treat the hero badly and make everyone in the world feel sad."
