Chapter 157: Birthday Greetings to the Queen Mother

Jia Qing's injuries were almost healed in the next few days, and today, it was the wife of the king of the four major families who celebrated her seventieth birthday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Needless to say, the two people in charge of the mansion are from the Wang family, and on such an important day, they are busy planning carefully.

And Wang Ziteng has become more and more trusted by the emperor in recent years, no, he was promoted to the commander of the nine provinces some time ago, from a product!

This is the first person in the stable officialdom of the four major families.

Therefore, since Jia's mother, almost all members of Rongguo Mansion have been dispatched.

Of course, Ning Guofu's side can't be absent, but here Jia Jing has gradually ignored the things that have been sent to the mansion over the years, and he doesn't want to go this time. Jia Zhen, who usually does this, was ordered not to be discharged from the hospital, and You and Qin are still sick......

Jia Rong is in the mansion, but his seniority is too low, so it is inevitable that he will be neglected if he goes. As a last resort, Jia Jing had no choice but to ask Jia Qing and Jia Rong's two uncles and nephews to go together.

The large army of Rongguo Mansion has already left first. When I left, I called someone over and asked if I was going to go with me. Jia Qing thought that there were too many masters in Rongguo Mansion and too many seniors, so it was inevitable that he would not be comfortable walking all the way, so he said that he was not ready, so he let them go first.

At the east corner gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong was already waiting there.

"I've met the second uncle, the carriage and horses and congratulatory gifts have been prepared, and you can set off at any time."

Jia Qing, accompanied by Li Yan and the others, walked over slowly. looked at Jia Rong, who was respectful to him, lightly foreheadd, and said, "Let's go." With Wang Shun's support, he got into the first carriage.

Jia Rong behind him raised a handsome face, implying resentment, but it was quickly replaced by a touch of fear and helplessness.

He went out of Beijing some time ago on an errand, and came back the day before yesterday. Then, I learned from the mouth of the little guy next to me that Jia Zhen was caught by Jia Jing for committing a crime.

He also went to see Jia Zhen, that miserable image, he was really scared! He thought about it, if that board hit him, I am afraid that life would be worse than death.

Later, he was a little happy. This mountain that had been pressing on his head for a long time was finally temporarily moved away by his grandfather.

It's not surprising that he can think so, there is only an oppressive and oppressed relationship between him and Jia Zhen, when is there any father-son relationship? Moreover, he didn't realize that his identity as the heir of Ning Guofu was threatened.

Until last night, Jia Jing told him to obey Jia Qing's arrangement today...... Only then did he realize that maybe without Jia Zhen, the head of Ning Guofu would not necessarily be him.

Resentment is there! It's just that he is much inferior to Jia Zhen, and he doesn't even have the courage to resist the elders.

One last glance at the team that was about to leave, Jia Rong also silently got into the second carriage.

The team started slowly......

In front of the palace, there was a lot of traffic. All kinds of delicately decorated soft sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages are placed here.

Jia Qing and the others also stopped a stone's throw away from the main gate. No, the open space in front of you is already full.

"There's some silver here, tell them not to wait here stupidly, and to eat at a nearby restaurant later, just to warn them not to make a mistake."

Jia Qing and the guards who accompanied them were about twenty people, although the birthday banquet of the royal mansion must have arranged a place to entertain the subordinates of each prefecture, but it was not appropriate to bring so many people in. So after Jia Qing got off the sedan chair, he asked Li Yan to take out a few taels of silver and give it to Lai Sheng, and instructed.

"The old slave thanked the second master for his compassion on their behalf."

Lai Sheng immediately bowed down and thanked him. The people who heard it around also thanked Jia Qing for his compassion.

Jia Rong on the side watched Jia Qing's actions silently, not knowing what he was thinking, watching Jia Qing lead Li Yan and the others to the main gate, he also hurriedly followed.

Lai Sheng briefly explained two sentences to the people below in the back, and then led people to take the invitation and congratulatory gifts and go towards the main gate.

As the manager, of course, he can also go in and drink two glasses of wine.

Although the area of the palace is not as good as that of Ning Rong's second mansion, it is not small, and there are enough houses with four entrances. After passing through the instrument gate, between the front hall and the front hall is a place specially used to entertain people from various prefectures.

Lai Sheng and Li Yan stopped here, while Jia Qing and Jia Rong continued to be led by a young disciple of the palace.

The crowd was full of friends.

Jia Qing and the others came late, so as soon as Pu entered the door, he saw such a lively scene. There were no less than fifty or sixty tables throughout the courtyard, and almost all but a few were empty.

Jia Qing was speechless, you must know that all the people who can sit here are masters from various provinces, and all the subordinates are outside. According to this calculation, I am afraid that nearly half of the mansions in the entire Shenjing City have sent people!

Just looking at this momentum, it is almost more than the time when Liu Yong became a birthday.

It seems that the fact that this prince Teng is the emperor's confidant is really right. Although it may be that Wang Ziteng must have sent out invitations in order to celebrate his mother's birthday, so many people are willing to come, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Brother Qing Shi and Brother Rong, please sit down for a while, Brother Fool still has to go to the front to entertain guests, I can't want to accompany you, please forgive me!"

The son of the palace who led Jia Qing and the two into was named Wang Ren, and he was the brother of Wang Xifeng of Rongguo Mansion. It's just that their parents died early, and they have been living with their uncle and prince.

The Wang family is not prosperous, and Wang Ziteng has no children so far, only two daughters. Therefore, the affairs of the palace are mainly in charge of his younger brother Wang Zisheng, and his nephew Wang Ren is in charge.

"Brother Shi is very polite."

Jia Qing casually politely said, and after Wang Ren left, Jia Qing turned to an acquaintance at the same table:

"I've seen Second Brother Lian!"

Jia Rong also said: "I've seen Second Uncle Lian." ”

It is Jia Lian, the sister-in-law of Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian said: "Second brother, please sit, Brother Rong also sit." ”

The two of them sat down. Jia Lian saw that the other people at the same table were staring at Jia Qing, smiled slightly, stood up, pointed to Jia Qing and introduced:

"This is the second son of our Ning Guofu Jing Master, Wen Linlang who is now given by the Holy Lord, Jia Qing is also!"

Although Jia Qing was unhappy that Jia Lian was troubled, he still stood up and hugged his fists and saluted: "I've seen everyone!" ”

"Sure enough, it is the famous Jia Linlang Jia Second Master, in the past, I only heard the name of the second master in the mouth of the elders, but when I saw it today, it really deserved its name."

"The best ...... among the people"

……

These people are basically the sons of each family, and one of them is the second son of the Duke of Xuguo after the same eighth duke, but unfortunately Jia Qing is not familiar with it.

After introducing each other, it can be regarded as an acquaintance. Jia Qing saw that there was only one Jia Lian on the side of Rongguo Mansion, and asked curiously:

"Second Brother Lian, why don't you see Second Brother Bao, didn't he come?"

Jia Lian smiled: "How can this scene not come today, it's just that he is different from us, the old lady took him inside......"

Is that okay? It's just in his own house, and he also brought Jia Baoyu to the inner house in other mansions...... But when I thought that today was Jia Baoyu's grandmother's birthday, I was relieved.

At this time, there were already some tea and snacks on the table, and Jia Qing had no intention of talking to someone he was familiar with, so he sat and looked at the people at the banquet while drinking tea......

There are few acquaintances!

Jia Zheng and the others are not in the courtyard, and those high-status people should be in the main hall in front of them, but they don't know how many tables are placed inside.

"The old birthday star is out, go up and pay homage to your birthday, and get a red envelope!"

But it was a few young men who looked like small sons and brothers rushing towards the main hall together. Jia Qing looked up, and sure enough, there was already a queue of people vying for birthday over there, and the same thing was that they were not very old.

Jia Lian saw Jia Qing looking around, thinking that Jia Qing didn't understand the etiquette here, and explained: "Uncle and the old lady are not outside, and now she is going out to wait for the juniors to kowtow in the main hall to please, and we will all go in a while!" ”

Of course Jia Qing knows this rule, after all, he has worshiped Jia's mother so many times. However, this Jia Lian was very kind to him, which made Jia Qing a little surprised.

"Hmm" counts as a reply.

This old lady of the Wang family is already seventy years old, which is a little older than Jia's mother.

Wang Ziteng will have a prosperous official fortune in the next few years, but he knows it. I always wanted to make friends with him before, but unfortunately he, as a junior, has never had a suitable opportunity......

Today is a good time.

Little by little, time passed. The young people have basically gone to worship, although Jia Qing is also young, but he doesn't want to go with those children who are not awake yet.

Together with Jia Lian and a few others, waiting for Jia Lian to come out, guided by the little guy at the door, Jia Qingxin walked in.

There were not many people in the main hall, only six tables, divided into two sides and three tables on one side. Most of the people sitting on the table are also quite old, and Jia Zheng is considered young among them.

In the middle of the front is a rosewood chair, in which an old woman sits with a peaceful smile on her wrinkled face, looking very kind.

Without looking too much, Jia Qing looked at a kneeling mat in front of him, knelt down without hesitation, and read in his mouth:

"Boy Jia Qing, I wish the old lady a long and blessed life, every year has today, and every year has today."

It's not too fancy, and if people don't like it, it's not beautiful! After speaking, he kowtowed three times.

Next to Jia Zheng, an elder said: "Cun Zhou, this is the Qilin'er in your house, and the child who was given a literary position by the saint?" ”

"Uncle Hui Shi, exactly."

"Well, yes, it's a clever one."

Hearing them say this, people who didn't care about it gathered their eyes together.

The old lady above may have heard of Jia Qing, and seeing that everyone was curious, she waved her hand and said, "Brother, come here, let me see ......"

How could Jia Qing refuse, after getting up, he walked straight over, and by the way, he took the red envelope in the hand of the maid who was in charge of distributing the red envelopes next to him.

The old lady smiled even more when she saw it, and joked with a smile: "I have a lot of red envelopes here, so my brother doesn't need to rush to get them." ”

Jia Qing smiled shyly when he heard this, and walked three steps away from the old lady.

After looking Jia Qing up and down, the old lady said, "What a handsome appearance, he will definitely be promising in the future." ”

The queen mother was even more happy when she saw it, and took out two more red envelopes from the plate next to her, and handed them to Jia Qingdao: "Come, take them to buy candy to eat." ”

Jia Qing is tired in his heart, he treats me like a little child, doesn't he? But he smiled and said, "Old Madam Xie is generous!" Then he took the red envelope.

Seeing that the queen mother had nothing else to say after giving the red envelope, Jia Qing was about to retire, but he heard a middle-aged man's voice say:

“.......”
