Although Jia Rong was imprisoned, the affairs of Changshou Palace were not delayed.

He has absolute power here, and everyone from Bianfeng to the common people has been bribed by him.

Although the people are not at the construction site, the instructions are at the construction site and they can still start work.

All the beams of the Longevity Palace are in place, and some carpenters will pull up the completed pillars.

Under Jia Rong's command and with the help of steam engines, the pillars were quickly erected.

The people wanted to invest in the construction of the Longevity Palace, so the train stopped. It was cold and no one wanted to take the open-air train.

The construction of the Longevity Palace is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On October 28, an imperial edict was announced in the court.

Zheng Mei was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the former Yin of Yingtianfu was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Fan was officially appointed as the Yin of Yingtianfu.

The position of Ying Tianfu Fu Cheng is now vacant. This is a good position. All factions in the court want to take action. It depends on which one is stronger and can take this position.

Gu Ming got married to a woman from his hometown.

Jia Rong was pulled over early to serve as the best man to welcome the guests.

I actually met Chen Wentao. This guy got a civil servant position in Yingtian Mansion. The official position was not big, but he also had some rights.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see." Jia Rong stepped forward and poured wine.

Chen Wentao was frightened and said humbly: "Master Jia, don't scare the little ones. The little ones are just trying to make ends meet."

Jia Rong said to the people behind him: "Look, the boss is pretending to be a fool again."

Everyone:......

What are you talking about?

Gu Ming raised his glass and offered a toast to Chen Wentao, but Chen Wentao was afraid to reciprocate.

Jia Rong blocked the drink, put her arm around Chen Wentao's neck and said, "I have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Chen."

Jia Rong said to his ear: "I have never understood who wants to harm Su Qiong?

Judging from those old men, I have always guessed who is going to use my hand to destroy them.

Later, I thought about it and realized that something was wrong. Can you help me answer my questions?"

Chen Wentao's hands trembled, the wine glass was spilled, and he said: "How can I think of something that even you can't think of?

Instead, I want to thank that person, who took me out of the abyss. If that person hadn’t taken the first step for me, I would still be working for Su Qiong.”

Jia Rong laughed.

Just use these words to coax children.

From now on, Jia Rong will be more wary of Chen Wentao.

Gu Ming pulled Jiarong and asked him to go to the other side to toast.

Gu Ming got married, and everyone from Yingtian Mansion came.

The newly appointed governor Liu Fan had arrived early and was sitting at the main table in the main hall, accompanied by Gu Ming's uncle and others to eat.

Jia Rong walked around and got to know most of the adults in Yingtian Mansion. He exchanged poems with civil servants, told dirty jokes with military attachés, and said blessings to Gu Ming's poor relatives. There was no one he could not speak to.

……

Jia Rong leaned on the chair and rubbed her head with both hands. She still hadn't recovered from yesterday's hangover.

Mrs. Zhang was making tiger shoes aside, "Zhou Sun came over and said, it's my great master's birthday, do you want to set up a few tables to celebrate?"

Jia Jing’s birthday?

Jia Jing doesn't like the excitement, so he probably won't come back.

"Just send birthday gifts over there. It's freezing cold and he's afraid he won't want to come back."

Mrs. Zhang approached him and said softly: "I've been having a lot of troubles lately, so why not find an excuse to celebrate and get rid of the bad luck."

"Okay, let Zhou Sun go over and ask. If the master comes back, we will make arrangements. If he doesn't want to come back, invite the troupe to come into the house and sing more than a dozen times to make everyone happy."

There is money in the house, but I feel anxious if I don’t use it.

Since it was Zhang who spoke, Jia Rong agreed.

During dinner in the evening, Jia Rong and Youshi talked about the birthday gift.

"It's so lively that my mother also invites family members to come and sit."

Youshi was very happy, "Okay, I'll send a letter back and talk about it."

Xichun asked: "Can you ask sister Yingchun to come over?"

"It must be barking. It would be good for you girls to move around more."

Xichun is very happy.

Ms. Zhang thought to herself that since she couldn’t write two characters of Jia in one stroke, she should go and invite the family next door.

The female family members can interact with each other privately, so long as it does not affect important matters.

Ms. Zhang decided on the menu for dinner that night and the troupe who would perform that day.

As expected, Jia Jing doesn't like fun and has no intention of going home to celebrate.

Mrs. Zhang asked people to send ten large boxes of birthday food, and the gifts were sent to the Taoist temple, which made Jia Jing's face.

At this time, the weather is cool and the chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom again. It is a good time to enjoy flowers.

The banquet at home still had to be arranged, and Jia Rong had to take a day off.

At about four o'clock, gradually, someone came.

First came Jia Lian and Jia Qiang, who first looked at the seats everywhere and asked, "Is there anything you can do?"

Zhou Sun bowed and replied: "Our master originally planned to invite the master to come home today, so he did not dare to prepare anything.

The day before yesterday, I heard that the master was not coming again, so I asked the servants to find a group of small actors and perform ten times at a time. They are all preparing on the stage in the garden."

Soon after, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Baoyu and others all arrived, and Mrs. You took Mrs. Zhang to greet them.

You's mother arrived first with her two daughters. Seeing Mrs. Xing and others arriving, she quickly stood up to greet them.

Everyone has met and let each other sit down.

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Sister Feng said: "The old lady said she would come yesterday because she was greedy when she saw Brother Bao and the others eating peaches at night. She ate most of them, and she kept eating them at the fifth watch.

I got up twice and felt a little tired this morning.

Because he asked me to go back to the uncle, I will definitely not be able to come today. He said that there are some delicious food, but also some very bad ones."

Youshi laughed after hearing this and said: "I said our ancestors love to be lively. There must be a reason why we don't come today. If that's the case, that's it."

Jia Zhen was sitting in the small courtyard, hearing the lively sound of gongs and drums, and her heart kept yearning for it.

I recall that when I was young, I could still fight outside the theater; in the past two years, I could even watch the theater with a beautiful woman in my arms.

Now he is a prisoner, unable to eat well, sleep without warmth, and is abused everywhere.

The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the sadder she became and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Both Jia Zheng and Jia She came, but they just went through the motions, showed their faces and left.

The second wife and the third wife of the Shi family came over the house with a group of female relatives. Mrs. You looked at Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang was surprised: I didn’t invite them.

"You are pregnant, let me go." Wang Xifeng did her job and went out to welcome the guests.

How dare you let Wang Xifeng pass by alone? She hurriedly caught up with her.

Jia Rong was in the front. Hearing Shi Nai's arrival, he also went over to greet him.

Far away in the mountains, I have distant relatives, but poor in the busy city, I have no close neighbors.

In the original work, Jia Zhen held a birthday banquet for Jia Jing, and no relatives or friends came to congratulate him.

Nowadays, many people come to your door without asking.

The Wang family's brother, Shi Nai and others arrived one after another and came in hand-in-hand with gifts.

Shi Xiangyun took his two cousins ​​to salute Jia Rong.

Shi Xiangyun had a bad face and was very unhappy, but because of his uncle, he still complied with the aunts' request.

Seeing the girl's face, Jia Rong was happy, "Who provoked our girl to make you so unhappy?"

Mrs. Shi Ding pulled Shi Xiangyun and said: "She didn't find the pearl flower she wanted today, so she couldn't come to the door, and she was dragged out by me. She was puffing her cheeks all the way."

Jia Rong laughed and wanted to touch the top of Shi Xiangyun's hair, but found that she had grown taller and it was difficult to touch the top of her hair, so he could only pat her shoulder.

He said: "Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious and fun things for you inside. Please bring the two sisters in quickly."

These two women, aged sixteen or seventeen, were shy when meeting people, and their cheeks turned red before they even said a few words.

Jia Qiang, who was standing next to her, was stunned.

People in the Wang family thought: This Shi family is so unreasonable, they secretly gave someone to Jia Rong.

At this time, the four princes of Nan'an County, Dongping County, Xining, and Beijing, six families including Zhenguo Bull Mansion, and eight families including Zhongjing Hou Shifu, all sent people with famous cards to send birthday gifts.

.

Jia Rong kept them in the accounting room first and wrote them on the gift list. Waiting for the next festival or someone's birthday, he will find the same valuable things and send them back.

Zhang Dingyuan and other dandy boys also came.

"There's a lot of excitement at your house, why don't we come?"

"I heard that you wrote a few more story books. I came over to take a look."

"No, I'll give you a carpet from Persia."
