Chapter 554: Recruitment
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it is said that on the day of the lower realm of the stars, it is customary to make small lamps to be lit and sacrificed, which is called Shunxing.
It is also said that the eighth day of the first lunar month is Guzi's birthday.
If the weather is fine on this day, then the Lord will have a good harvest on that day, and the sky will be cloudy.
On the eighth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Longzheng, the weather was very good.
When they got up in the morning, everyone could see a round of red rising sun, and the sky was clear.
On this day, the Rongning Second Mansion of Gonghou Street in Shenjing Xicheng fell into a festive atmosphere from early in the morning.
Although it is already the eighth day of the new year, it seems to be more festive than the first day of the new year and the Chinese New Year's Eve!
Up and down the two mansions, whether it is the master or the slave, the front house or the backyard, the male servant or the maidservant, everyone is dressed in red.
It stands to reason that Ning Guofu is still in the period of filial piety, and in addition to being able to replace the peach charm with a new one, other rules cannot be moved.
But yesterday, the old lady from the west came to speak in person, change, all new!
The big red lantern hangs high!
The reason is very simple, Ning Guo is the gate.
If you have always kept filial piety, these rules will naturally be observed.
The Marquis of Kening entered Xiliang a few years ago, and made great martial arts for the country's conquest, which can be regarded as the court's revenge.
Naturally, there is no need to be taboo anymore.
So, overnight, Ning Guofu was changed from top to bottom!
However, although I was tired after tossing all night, no one shouted that I was tired.
Starting from Li Wanji, Fu Nai and other housekeepers, to the servants and maids below, they are all full of energy.
Even the rising stars of the clan like Jia Yun and Jia Xun came to help last night, although they stayed up all night. But there was always a smile on his face.
I only hope that the legendary blessed girl of the Xue family can bring great blessings to the third master of Ning Guo. Heal his eyes.
If that's the case, let alone a big night. Even if they stayed up for ten days and a half months, they had nothing to say!
However, according to Jia Huan's words, the old lady tossed them this time, and it was purely idle......
Today's engagement is not in Ningguofu, it is in the west, and Ningguofu is a whitewashed wall and a tile change, why bother?
However, Jia Huan really has no say at home now, and he is often told to shut up. He simply didn't say more.
At the beginning of the hour, Jia Huan was picked up by Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck, who were assigned by the old lady in the west.
In the Rongqing Hall, the house is full of joy.
In addition to the people of the Jia family, there were also the first-class uncles of the Zhenguo Mansion, the first-class uncles of the Zhenguo Mansion, the first-class uncles of the Wuwei Mansion, the Zhangs, and the first-class uncles of the Fenwu Mansions, Liu.
Other than that, there was no one else.
After Mother Jia invited a few ladies to take a seat, she said to Aunt Xue, who was also smiling, with a smile on her face: "Oh, Mrs. Aunt! You don't know, my grandson. I was still squirming and pinching before, and I couldn't excuse myself.
However, yesterday I came running again and told me. Don't invite too many people.
I was very unhappy at first, and I invited more people to witness such a big event as the engagement. What's the point of hiding and tucking in?
He explained to me that my aunt's family and friends used to be in the south. Originally, because we were in a hurry, we didn't have time to prepare. I think that there are no relatives at my aunt's house today.
If we invite so many people here with great fanfare, we will look good, but my aunt's face will not look good.
Simply, except for the excellent Tongjia of Niu, Wen, and Qin, none of the others will be invited, and they will be invited when the wedding is held.
In this way, the aunt will not be unhappy.
Look, my grandchild, what a ......."
The women in the house were overjoyed when they heard this.
Before Aunt Xue could speak, Guo Shi, the first-class uncle of the Zhenguo Mansion, said with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Tai, the younger generation has long known that Brother Huan'er is a good child, and he loves to think about others.
But fortunately, he still knows to invite a few of us, otherwise, even if the old lady depends on you, the younger generation will not follow.
In our house, there is a set of yards specially prepared for him, which is exactly the same as my brother Ben'er, and even the furniture is not the same.
I'm treating him like my own son!
If he even bypasses me for something as big as a betrothal, I'm going to call the door. ”
"Hahaha!"
Mother Jia looked at the Guo family with a pretty face, and although she wondered in her heart that both the Niu family and his wife were good-looking, how could their son ......
However, he still smiled very kindly, and said: "He can't forget your house, after this matter is settled, he will first go to your house to ask for peace, sometimes he sees that he is so good with you, I am jealous of my wife!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Guo's, Zhang's and others all laughed.
Zhang of the Marquis of Wuwei said with a smile: "Old lady, Brother Huan'er is the son of the younger generation Zheng'er Bajing, and the emperor and the emperor have counted a few children.
My lord sent a fast horse back from the Western Regions yesterday to deliver a letter, saying that he had obtained a thousand-year-old ice lotus in the Western Regions, and it was said that it had the effect of Qijia's eyesight, so he quickly sent someone to send it back.
It's not a coincidence, I actually met Brother Huan'er's engagement, and there is hope that his eyes will regain his sight, which is really a happy coming! ”
Mother Jia was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? Thank you so much for your concern! ”
Guo Shi waved his hand and said, "Old lady, don't say this." Brother Huan'er, this stupid boy is kind-hearted, and affectionate, our Qin family has remembered his goodness for several lifetimes, and even my old housekeeper likes him very much, so he asked the younger generation to bring him a congratulatory gift.
Such an idea is what we should do, and we can't say a word of thanks. ”
When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed with emotion: "In the end, people are divided into groups, if the house is not so affectionate, Brother Huan'er will not lean on." ”
The first-class lady of the Fenwu Marquis Mansion followed with a smile and said, "Well, Brother Huan'er is excellent. I heard that Brother Huan'er's eyes have the hope of regaining his sight, and my lord found out a 500-year-old ginseng that had been treasured in the house for decades, or when the old lady guarded Heiliao in the previous life, this time it was also regarded as a congratulatory gift for engagement. ”
The 500-year-old ginseng is almost about to become fine.
Although the flesh and bones of the living dead are exaggerated, they have the effect of hanging their lives and consolidating their roots. Absolutely superb.
Just when Jia Huan was about to change his eyes, he could have such an old ginseng pressure array. Jia Mu's heart can be more steady.
So everyone was polite again.
The Guo family of the Zhenguo Mansion may have a little unbearable on his face, and said, "You two have the convenience of the location. Everything you take is good.
Brother Bihuan is also hateful, Baba ran to me and begged me, let me help him be a guest of his mother's house!
So much so that I can only take some mundane things to add boxes to the newcomer! ”
As she spoke, after glancing at Jia Huan, she turned her head sideways, and the two maids standing behind her hurriedly took a few red sandalwood boxes from the mother-in-law standing behind her and stepped forward.
The box is full of pearlescent emerald color, and the wealth is compelling.
The crowd looked fixedly. I saw several boxes, there are pairs of white jade hairpins, pairs of red gold silk bracelets, pairs of gold box cat's eye earrings, four pieces of white jade, four pieces of Bi Yao wear, two pairs of jade hairpins, two pairs of pearl rings, ruby string rice beads, three friends of pearls, all points of cui phoenix, full points of Fu Man hairpins, full points of begonia flowers, and all kinds of jadeite ......
All of them are high-quality products.
In fact, these are not enough, precious are precious, but for the rich Xue family, it is not unseen.
But Aunt Xue didn't expect that Jia Huan would be able to do this, she originally thought that Jia Huan was very disliked......
Not to mention her, even Jia Mu was a little moved.
And Mrs. Wang, who had been sitting quietly on one side and didn't talk much, also twitched the corners of her mouth.
They all looked down on Jia Huan. Now that it has become an established fact.
Not to mention anything else, just for the name of Chongxi, Jia Huan can't go too far.
After all, it's a man, is it really difficult for the mother and daughter of the Xue family?
That's a big deal.
However. This still moved Aunt Xue inexplicably.
Let's see, who of the princes and uncles in this room has looked at her a few times?
Don't say it's her. Even to Mrs. Wang, it was just a faint hello at the beginning.
That is, to Jia Mu. They sincerely smiled at each other.
That's the difference in status!
They are all super-grade Lady of the Destiny, and she ......
But I don't want to. Jia Huan even thought of this, and specially invited Guo from the Zhenguo Mansion to be her maiden companion.
In this way, the Xue family will not be too shabby......
Whether Jia Huan is for the face of the Jia family or for their mother and daughter, this feeling is really good.
……
In the front hall, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were accompanied by Niu Jizong, Wen Yanzheng and Han Degong, and the juniors were also in the hall.
Niu Ben, Wen Bo, Qin Feng and the Han brothers were all happy.
In addition, there is also a very restrained person, Zhao Guoji.
Today, he came forward as Jia Huan's uncle, and everyone happily gave him a smile.
"So, is it true that your eyes can be restored?"
Niu Jizong's face was slightly moved, and he looked at Jia Huandao.
Wen Yanzheng also paid attention to him.
Jia Huan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, if Miss Gongsun didn't say anything, there should be some hope." ”
After Niu Jizong and Wen Yanzheng glanced at each other, they both showed joy.
Niu Jizong slapped his big hand, and there was a loud "snap", and the bluffed Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Zhao Guoji jumped......
But he didn't care, and said happily: "Okay! Good! But then he said, "What does that blood eye mean?" The eyes of the Jia family? ”
Jia Huan paused when he heard this, and Jia Lian's face suddenly became extremely unnatural.
Jia Huan didn't hide it, and said: "No, Miss Gongsun said that you need the eyes of your direct relatives, and the age difference should not be too big." ”
As soon as these words came out, I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at Jia Lian in an instant.
The cold sweat on Jia Lian's forehead also flowed down at this moment, and he only felt that a pair of knife-like eyes were dangling in front of his eyes......
Jia Lian has all the thoughts of crying, and he deceives people too much! How can anyone worry about gouging out people's eyes......
Jia Huan seemed to feel his predicament, and laughed and said, "Uncle Niu, Uncle Wen, you know the kid, how can a nephew do such a ridiculous thing?" ”
Niu Jizong naturally couldn't really gouge out the eyes of Rongguo's own grandson, but he still snorted and said, "Then what should you do?" ”
Jia Huan smiled: "Isn't this engagement?" Zhang Laodao, who was a jade void, said that the sky was full of flowers, as if as long as he married the daughter of the Xue family, his eyes could be restored immediately.
Hehe, I can't tell if it's true or not. I can't resist my ancestor and my mother, so I have today's play. ”
Niu Jizong frowned when he heard this. He said solemnly to Wen Yanzheng, who was full of absurdity: "Old Wen, you have a short time in Beijing, I'm afraid you don't know much about the old way of Yuxuguan."
It is too much to say that the gods are a little too much. However, there are a few brushes, and the material is very accurate. ”
Wen Yanzheng still felt a little ridiculous, and said: "Old Niu, we people who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, do you still believe this?" ”
Niu Jizong was about to explain, but Qin Feng interjected in a rare way, and said, "Uncle Wen, that Jade Void Immortal Zhang Lao Immortal does have some Taoism.
Before my father had an accident, the younger generation rushed to the northwest with Brother Huan and several brothers. My mother once went to Yuxu to see incense, and asked Zhang Lao Immortal for a hexagram.
The old fairy said four words at that time, first death and then life.
It was exactly the same as my father's situation later! ”
Wen Yanzheng heard this, nodded, was silent, and looked at Jia Huan again......
"Ring ...... Brother Huan, otherwise, change my eyes.
I'm also your direct blood relative, and I don't have much to look for. It's just right ...... age."
Zhao Guoji, who had been restrained and uneasy, suddenly spoke, his face full of sincerity.
"That's right! Why did you forget about the Zhao family! What a ......."
Jia Lian suddenly shouted loudly, his face full of joy.
Jia Zheng and others were also a little surprised. looked abrupt, but Jia Zheng knew his son in the end. Seeing that Jia Huan's face darkened suddenly, he hurriedly coughed twice. Glared at Jia Lian.
Realizing that he would not die, Jia Lian, who had escaped the catastrophe, received Jia Zheng's eyes. His face froze, and he woke up from his ecstasy.
Turning his head to look at Jia Huan, he only felt a basin of ice water poured over his head.
Said dryly: "Three...... Third brother, I'm ...... That's not what it means......"
Jia Huan nodded lightly and said, "Second brother, the descendants of Rongguo, you should do something and not do something." ”
When Jia Lian heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and a touch of annoyance rose in his heart.
However, he could only be annoyed in his heart, but his face was ashamed, and he said, "Third brother, I wrote it down." ”
Jia Huan said to Zhao Guoji at this time: "Uncle, the world is big, and my uncle is the biggest."
How can a nephew ask his uncle to gouge out his eyes?
Uncle don't say this kind of thing in the future, spread it, I don't know how many imperial histories are waiting to impeach the nephew. ”
However, Zhao Guoji, who has always had a weak personality, rarely insisted on it, he stiffened his neck and said: "I'm not your uncle, I'm just a family slave in the house, I love to change your eyes, what do you do to them?" ”
Originally, everyone didn't think much of this honest man who was submissive and sat restless with the "big guys", but after hearing this, they were immediately impressed.
In the end, it is a man in Guanzhong, his blood is not cold, and his love is unparalleled!
Jia Huan's heart was warm, but he still shook his head and smiled: "Uncle, it's hard to deceive people." Even if those imperial histories are not impeached, the nephew's heart will be sad for a lifetime. The eyes may be good, but the heart is blind and more painful. ”
"You kid, why don't you know how to be flexible? What kind of character are you, so expensive? But I'm just a janitor, so I don't even care if I don't have my eyes tight!
You listen to me, you listen to my ......"
Zhao Guoji blushed and said hurriedly.
Jia Huan smiled: "Uncle, don't wronged me!"
I let you enjoy the blessings of the Qing Blessing, you don't do it yourself, if you don't guard the gatehouse, how can you become a janitor? Hahaha! ”
Zhao Guoji saw that he didn't take this stubble, and said angrily: "I can't talk to you, I won't tell you, I'll talk to your mother." ”
After that, he stood up, bowed to Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Niu Jizong, Wen Yanzheng and others with great humility, and bowed to Niu Ben, Wen Bo and others, causing several people to quickly get up and avoid it, and after that, he left.
Jia Huan suddenly had a headache......
Then he was afraid that Niu Wen and the others would persuade him again, so he first opened his mouth to divert the topic and said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, Your Majesty's life has been much better recently, right?" Although King Zhongshun is still on the throne, four of the five auxiliary ministers are not with him......"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Niu Jizong's mouth, shook his head, snorted again, and said: "This has nothing to do with you, you honestly raise it at home, and if you don't raise your eyes well, you don't go out to mingle!" Father...... I'm terrified when I wipe your ass, and you're still thinking about those shitty things, huh! ”
After saying that, Niu Jizong and Wen Yanzheng glanced at each other again, and both of them stood up. Niu Jizong said again: "There are still some affairs in the Military Machine Pavilion that have not been completed, and it is not good for me and your Uncle Wen to stay here for a long time."
Brother Huan. You and your second uncle should go inside, since Daoist Zhang said so. There's always a reason for him.
Either way, it's worth a try, and it's better to settle down sooner.
Brother Huan'er, remember your identity, don't be too childlike. ”
Jia Huan didn't understand the last sentence, but he still nodded and said, "My nephew wrote it down." ”
Niu Jizong nodded, and looked at Jia Zheng, who was not very happy on the side. He smiled and said, "Zhenggong, farewell." ”
Jia Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but he still had to talk about etiquette, and said, "I'll send the two uncles out......"
"No need, stay with the government."
After saying that, Niu Jizong strode away, Wen Yanzheng was one step behind, and nodded with Jia Zheng. said to Wen Bo, Niu Ben, Qin Feng and others: "It's not time for your brothers to mess around, Brother Huan'er has to prepare to change his eyes recently, you don't bother and leave together." ”
Wen Bo and others heard this. was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to be stubborn, so he had to say hello to Jia Huan sickly. The group strode away together.
Jia Zhengben also wanted to send them out, after all, their identities were different.
But after walking two steps. found that this rude person was walking too fast. He couldn't keep up......
I just watched it, and after their figures disappeared, Jia Zheng withdrew his eyes and said to Jia Huan with a displeased face: "In the future, you don't have much to do with them, and you don't know what etiquette is!" Second uncle, who is the second uncle? ”
Jia Huan laughed and said, "Okay, Dad, they are all martial artists like their sons, they have no culture, what do you care about them?" Let's go! Let's go inside. ”
Jia Zheng was angry, but he still knew that he was holding Jia Huan's arm, and after walking a few steps, he hesitated: "Huan'er, do you want to think about it again, the Zhao family ......?"
"Daddy!"
Jia Huan's voice raised slightly, and said, "If I use my uncle's eyes in exchange, will I still use this kiss?" ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, his face changed, and he said in a low voice: "In the future, if you don't say this kind of thing, it is not a gentleman's virtue."
We are indebted to others, and we are suspected of being happy by others, do you still say that? In the future, there can be no such behavior, being mean and unkind, and it is not done by men. ”
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not a bastard, where would I really do this." ”
Jia Zheng snorted, helped him walk inside, sent him to the back of the second door, and let a little girl escort Jia Huan in.
There are many women inside, and it is not appropriate for him to go in.
……
"Hahaha!"
Amid the laughter of the women, Jia Huan entered the Rongqing Hall.
For a while, all kinds of greetings were called in unison, and Jia Huan also responded one by one with a smile.
Until he was helped to Jia's mother by the maid and placed on a small stool to sit down.
Jia Mu took Jia Huan's hand and said to the three edicts and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter: "Originally, according to the rules, these villains, when this day comes, they will not be able to see each other again.
Moreover, in terms of etiquette, Brother Huan'er is still in the filial piety period, and he shouldn't have said kiss.
However, our family is a gate, and unlike those Confucians, we don't pay much attention to these.
I remember that year, when the first generation of Lao Rongguo was here, my father, that is, the first generation of Baolinghou, died on the battlefield.
In order to take care of the Shi family, Lao Rongguo pointed me out to Xian Rongguo.
There was no filial piety period, only a kiss, and I entered Jia's house.
Because Lao Rongguo entrusted me to take care of the Jia family first.
At that time, although the Jia family had a big business, a large population, and many high seniors, there were no more female dependents in the direct family, so I only made a verbal appointment, and I came over to take care of the family business.
For those mundane etiquettes of Confucianism, some of them are good, and they should naturally be observed.
Yes, if it is not suitable for us to open the door, there is no need to pay attention to it. ”
"The old lady's words are right, when we entered the door, almost all of them were in this situation.
The family of Jiangmen pays attention to the death of the father and the son in battle, and the death of the brother and the elder brother in armor.
Some of the rules of etiquette are good, and some are not very good, especially not suitable for our generals.
The old lady couldn't be more right. ”
Guo said with a smile.
When Mother Jia heard this, she nodded happily to her, and said to Aunt Xue: "So, Mrs. Auntie, don't blame us for being rude." ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she hurriedly said, "Where is the old lady, there is no such statement." ”
Jia Huan nodded with a smile, and said to Xue Baochai: "As for Bao Girl, you don't need to worry too much about this identity when you get along with Brother Huan and their sisters in the future."
As it was, it will be as it will be in the future.
Otherwise, it's not good to be awkward, and you should only be closer. ”
When Xue Baochai heard this, he stood up with a slight face, nodded, and curtsied: "I wrote it down, old ancestor!" ”
Mother Jia saw that she answered decently, and she was neither humble nor arrogant in front of several princes' orders, and she was satisfied.
Then she said to the three ladies: "In this way, I will bother the three ladies to be icemen with my grandson and write a letter of appointment."
The so-called six courtesies are called hiring. The six rites are not prepared, and they are called running.
Six salutes: Nacai, ask for a name, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, invite, welcome.
Nacai, ask the name, Najib these three steps, have been done two days ago.
However, Brother Huan did not use a wild goose to convey affection, but a treasure knife he used when killing enemies in the northwest battlefield, hehe, it is also in line with his identity!
Now, let's take the step of recruitment.
As for the dowry, it has been sent to my aunt's wife before, and now, it is only left to write the letter of appointment.
When the letter of appointment is completed, it will be a great ceremony.
After Brother Huan'er's eyes are healed, they will set a date for marriage together, just waiting to welcome them.
Although it will take a few more years, in fact, from the time the letter of appointment is written, it is a family.
Which lady will write it? ”
"I'll do it."
Guo Shi took the first step, stopped in front of Zhang, and grabbed the pen and paper.
However, after grabbing the pen and paper, it was not the same thing, Guo Shi looked at Jia's mother with some embarrassment, and said, "Old lady, how should I write?" ”
When Jia Mu heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she remembered that the lady of the Zhenguo Mansion in front of her was still a rare female martial artist in the martial arts sect of Shenjing City......
That's it, let her read:
"Mrs. Lao, write on the title page: I have admired the famous family for a long time, and I am willing to marry Qin and Jin.
Don't be cold, climb the high gate ......"
"Old Lady ......"
As soon as Jia's mother finished reading two sentences, Guo Shi hadn't even finished writing, when a mother-in-law suddenly walked in outside, and said in a slightly hurried voice: "Old lady, there is a eunuch from the middle palace who has come to deliver the decree!" ”
……
PS: It will be completely solved tomorrow, huh...... Digging a pit almost pitted yourself in.
Today's 6,000-word update is to thank many book friends for their continued support and understanding.
Second, it is also to celebrate the rectification of the dirty and smelly place of Baidu Tieba.
No matter how many high-sounding reasons those people make, they try to reverse black and white, they try to erect a few more archways, but the evil is always sinful, and it cannot become justice.
I don't know if Robin Li is temporarily rectifying to avoid the limelight, or if he will really continue to rectify forever.
But this time it proved at least one thing, and that is that you are wrong, that you are breaking the law.
Don't take a stinky and shameless point of view, say what to share and not share.
If you buy a ticket, can you bring a video recorder to record it and share it with others for free, you can try it?
If you buy a book, you can circulate it to others, but how many people can you lend a book of millions of words to when you die? But if you put it on the Internet, there are thousands of people watching it.
If you have the ability to subscribe to thousands of copies and give them to others, then it is called a good deed.
Be generous to others, do good deeds in the name of beauty, and find some high-sounding reasons, I can only say that you are shameless and despicable.
You are not making a profit because of this, but you are harming the interests of others, increasing traffic for Baidu, and making profits for Baidu.
I wasn't that angry about the theft, although I was able to fix the sites the next afternoon.
But they never advertise any good people and good deeds, they are making profits, making traffic money, at least they are not so shameless, in front of the table, they also want to establish the archway.
I hope that there will be less sophistry without a lower limit and more justice in society.
My bottom line is that your life is temporarily embarrassed, it doesn't matter if you watch theft, I only want you to temporarily owe a book money, I don't believe that everyone will be embarrassed forever, and one day you can afford to read the genuine version.
But I hope that I will not be a dirty communicator.
I only wish that I am Huaxia, the right way to Dachang!
(To be continued.) )
