Chapter 164 King Xiao
The joy of Yuanchun’s conferment completely suppressed the depression caused by Jia She’s funeral.
This is also a normal thing.
Although Jia She is the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, he has no title, no reputation, and no moral character, so he is not respected by others.
When he died, most people pretended to be sad on the surface, but actually had no emotions in their hearts. They even secretly cursed: This old guy is finally dead!
However, Yuanchun is different.
When Yuanchun was the eldest daughter in the family, she was dignified, quiet, beautiful and generous, and was deeply loved and respected by her family.
Later, when she entered the palace, she could be considered a contribution to the family, which made it even more touching. Now, years of dormancy have finally paid off, which naturally makes people feel extremely respectful!
To the servants, the fact that the eldest lady can be selected into the palace proves her excellence. Now she can be named a concubine by the emperor. She is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and she has great luck. A person of great blessing.
Such a person is worthy of being praised.
The most important thing is, vital interests!
When Jia She dies, he dies. It might be a good thing to pass on the title to Mr. Lian who is capable, responsible and able to bring glory to the family! Therefore, it is better for Jia She to die than not to die.
The title of concubine in Yuanchun is equivalent to giving the Jia family the status of a royal relative out of thin air. It is not just the lineage of Master Fuze and Master Bao, but the entire Fuze family. Everyone can benefit.
This is much more direct and effective than Mr. Lian going to the border to lead troops to fight, or going to the Army and Horses Yamen as an official to run errands for the emperor!
Everyone knows that when the eldest lady is granted the title of concubine, the Jia family will be honored. When the family is honored, everyone will have more benefits!
Didn’t you see that Mr. Lian, who has been worrying too much about the elder’s affairs in recent days, doesn’t have such a gloomy face these days?
Mr. Lian is really an excellent person. In order to take care of the emotions of other people in the family, he did not impose the pain of losing his father on the family at all, nor did he do it because of everyone's joy in celebrating the eldest daughter's concubine. And blame and blame others. I just carefully take care of the elder's funeral every day, and silently prepare for the funeral-related matters of the elder...
In a blink of an eye, the day of the funeral is approaching, and the Jia family is busy again.
Jia Lian and his wife were so busy that they never touched the ground. On the one hand, they have to be prepared to receive relatives and friends from all over the clan who come to see the funeral. On the other hand, they have to prepare the equipment, carriages, and people on the way to the funeral. At the same time, they have to go to the Tiequan Temple outside the city to arrange the temporary mourning hall., the choice of burial place...
In short, things suddenly became several times more complicated than those in the previous ten days.
Unexpectedly, someone came to report at the door that day, saying that the young master of the Zhang family came to express condolences and asked Jia Lian to come out to receive him.
Jia Lian subconsciously asked: "Which young master of the Zhang family?"
"It is the second master's cousin, young master Zhang Subiao."
Jia Lian was suddenly surprised. Since the funeral, no one from the Zhang family had been here.
Jia Lian knew that this must be what the old man meant. As a military general, he didn't care about that much. He just hated it, and he didn't care about maintaining the dignity between families.
Jia Lian naturally didn't care about this. He didn't expect Zhang Su to come in person today.
I hurriedly rushed outside from the study. On the corridor in front of the mourning hall, I saw Zhang Su's extraordinary appearance.
But then Jia Lian's expression condensed slightly, and he came to Zhang Su in three steps and two steps at a time. He faced a man next to him who was dressed in ordinary plain clothes. Although he was shorter, he looked very strong. The young boy bent down to salute.
"Haha, Mr. Jia, no, it's General Jia, long time no see."
The young man seemed to have expected Jia Lian's reaction, his smart eyes were straight. Looking at Jia Lian, he stepped forward to support Jia Lian before he bent down, and said with a smile.
At this time, there were no guests in the Dongkuo courtyard, only two servants of the government and a small number of tribesmen. When they heard the young man’s laughter, they all looked over in surprise, thinking, who is this person? Ah, how dare you laugh loudly in front of our master’s mourning hall.
Moreover, the second master is not angry yet, and looks very respectful to him!
"Brother Lian, this is Young Master Xiao..." Zhang Su stood beside him and introduced him steadily.
Jia Lian understood, and immediately put away his unnecessary movements, cupped his hands and said: "I didn't know that Mr. Xiao is here, and I am not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao."
Seeing that Jia Lian was on the road so quickly, the young man seemed even more happy. He raised his hands and said, "Where is it? I heard that your father has passed away, so I came here to pay my respects. Please give me some guidance, General Jia..."
"Please"
Jia Lian turned to greet him. The young man was not polite and strode up to the mourning hall immediately.
Jia Lian fell behind and stood side by side with Zhang Su, looking at him questioningly.
Zhang Su hurriedly whispered: "We will find a quiet place to talk later..."
Jia Lian nodded and guided the two of them to worship in front of the spirit.After lighting the incense, they led the two of them to a quiet side hall not far away.
After sitting down and waving away the idlers, Jia Lian solemnly bowed to the young man and said, "Jia Lian, please see your Fourth Highness."
He was actually the fourth prince, Come in disguise.
"Ha, no gifts, no gifts, please sit down quickly."
The fourth prince looked very casual, leaning on the nanmu armchair in the side hall, his eyes casual Looking at the layout and furnishings in the hall, he seemed a little disappointed.
"The last time I went to the Xiangyang Marquis' Mansion, the hall was decorated with loud and golden light, which was even better than my palace. As the Duke's Mansion, you, It should be more open and bright than the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion. When I came in just now, I saw that your house is stingy. Why is this hall also like this? Isn't it too inferior?"
The fourth prince’s direct question made Zhang Su frown and look around.
But after all, Zhang Su heard from his elders that the room Jia Lian lived in was only a side courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, not the main hall, which was not surprising.
When Jia Lian heard this, he didn’t explain much. He just replied: "The humble house is so simple and simple, which makes His Highness laugh."
What he thought in his heart was just the opposite.
The fourth prince’s state of mind at this time was almost the same as the last time he went to the fourth prince’s mansion.
The last time he went to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, he felt that the area of the Fourth Prince’s newly built palace was a bit smaller, almost half the size of the Rongguo Mansion as a whole...
It makes sense. The Rongguo Mansion was the Duke's Mansion built by Emperor Taizu's gracious decree. It was originally built according to the regulations of the Royal Palace.
And the fourth prince’s palace is relatively small among the other princes’ palaces...
Perhaps it was because he was too naughty and mischievous that Emperor Ning Kang deliberately refused to give him any money. His palace was built so extravagantly and extravagantly!
Fortunately, the fourth prince came in and saw the Dongkua Courtyard, and it was the Dongkua Courtyard where a funeral was being held. Everything was pale and pale, so it looked a little shabby.
If what he saw was the magnificent Rongxi Hall, I am afraid that the fourth prince would not feel this way in his heart.
The Rongxi Hall can definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with the main hall of an ordinary palace.
The fourth prince just said casually that after he arrived at Ningrong Street, he felt that the layout of Jia's house was different from other places. There was not even a plaque on the door he just entered...
But he didn’t care about this. After complaining, he skipped it and said with a smile: “Last time I heard that you had come back from the border, I just wanted to call you to my place.You came to the palace to play, but they said that your father was dying of illness, so they gave up...
By the way, you don’t know that I have already made you a king, right? Hey, Prince Xiao, my father Doesn’t it sound nice if the emperor sealed my account? "
Jia Lian smiled. Although he had heard about it a long time ago, he still pretended not to know. He quickly raised his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness for being honored with such an elegant title. ”
The prince of the Wei Dynasty is considered an adult at the age of sixteen. After he reaches adulthood, he can be crowned king, and he does not need to go to the study room to study every day. He can hire famous teachers to teach him in his palace.
It seems that this boy is over sixteen years old.
The fourth prince laughed for a while, and it was obvious that he was really satisfied with this title.
