Chapter 83 The Crown Ceremony
Jia Hu immediately asked, "Why not?"
Jia She sighed: "Your children's family doesn't know the way here. Although the father is the Duke of the state, he has no real power. If he doesn't speak with others, he will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of everyone."
It's useless for Jia Amnesty to say a thousand words and ten thousand words.Kong holds the title of duke of a country, and no one with background in Beijing will buy into the Rongguo Mansion.
I thought it was because Jia Amnesty was reluctant to draw a line with other nobles, but I didn't expect that it was because of the future.Jia Hu said: "But father, since our family is going to change families, why should we have so much contact with nobles?"
Jia Amnesty laughed, it was too young after all.He said: "Hu'er, there is no rush to change families. Let me ask you, how many noble children do you have contacts with?"
Jia Hu thought about it for a while, and said: "Before I was ten years old, I was studying in the mansion. Since I was selected as a scholar, there are a lot of things in the family. Even if there are some contacts, I will go back to Jinling to observe filial piety for three years, and there will be no friendship left." After thinking about it, He added: "After I came back, I had quite a talk with Brother Shui." Brother Shui is Shui Rong, the son of Prince Jing.
Jia She nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm different from you. You studied since you were a child, and the people who come and go are all scholars. I was born as the son of a prince, and I don't have much talent for reading. The duke later played, and the friendship was established since childhood. Now that I suddenly alienate my friends, won't the emperor be suspicious?"
Jia Hu became anxious, and said, "Of course it will. But this shows an attitude of our family."
Rongguo Mansion was confiscated, and later generations have many speculations. Although there are different opinions, a name of forming a party for personal gain is indispensable.There are four princes and eight princes in the capital, how prominent!Jinling is the land of Longxing, and there are four major families.Can the Jia family not become a thorn in the eyes of the emperor?
This time the emperor was well prepared, he was not injured during the rebellion of the two kings, and he didn't know how long he would live!Maybe the emperor started to deal with them before King Cheng came to power.
From Jia She's point of view, Jia Hu really worried too much.He smiled and said, "Let me ask you, who will inherit Rongguo Mansion in the future?"
Without even thinking about it, Jia Hu said, "Of course it's me. Afterwards, it will be passed on to Lian'er's eldest son."
Hu'er has long been ready to adopt Lian'er's eldest son. While Jia She comforted him, he also felt quite sad. He proposed: "Hu'er, when Lian'er's eldest son is born, I will take him to your wife's side to raise him." Let it go. In the future, I will only say that it is your own." In this way, Hu'er can feel better.
Jia Hu was not in a hurry to speak out against it at this time.He doesn't know how to marry a wife at all, and he can't be raised by a big man at that time.Therefore, he only replied yes lightly, urging Jia Amnesty to continue explaining.
Alas, he is engaged in business, so he really can't play politics.Daishan has taught for so long, but in fact he has only learned a little bit and needs to be strengthened.
It was not good for Jia Amnesty to hold on to his son's sad things, so he did what he wanted and said, "Sooner or later, this Rongguo Mansion will be yours, and you have no friendship with Xungui..."
Then the pattern of four princes and eight males in the next generation will be broken.
Jia Hu was stunned.
No wonder he didn't get close to the prince's mansion and other princes' children, and his grandfather never said anything about it.Grandpa probably made up his mind at that time.
However, it will be a long time before he takes over the Rongguo Mansion. It's a long night with many dreams. Wouldn't it be good to break up with them early?
Expressing this question to his father, Jia Hu was laughed at by Jia She, not surprisingly.
"Son, aren't you too timid? If everyone in the officialdom is as honest as you, the government will be clear and bright, and it will be just around the corner."
After laughing, Jia She said sternly: "Our children have never been in contact with them. In the emperor's heart, we have expressed our position. It's just that your father and I are incapable. If we don't unite with other people, we will inevitably be punished by others in this capital city." underestimate."
He rubbed the fingers on his hand and talked about all the troubles he had suffered, "You Niu Shibo and Prince Beijing have said a lot on behalf of our family. If you don’t get anything in return, people will be disappointed.”
He said again: "The friendship between left and right is limited to my generation. When you also stand up, your father will not have to force himself to deal with them."
Jia Hu smiled slightly, and jokingly said, "Didn't father stay at the pile of gold and stones and never go out?"
Jia She laughed out loud.
Jia Hu was embarrassed again and said: "But I have already told the teacher. A man cannot stand without faith, so the son can't go back on what he says, right?"
"Which seat teacher are you?"
Generally speaking, there are several exams, and there are several teachers.Jia Hu's scholar, Juren and Jinshi teachers are all different, he has three teachers.
"Master Han, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Head of the Imperial Academy."
Jia She said "Oh", it turned out to be him.Han Wenxuan Jia Amnesty knew that it was the eldest son's Jinshi teacher.He was thinking, when Jia Hu spoke again.
"If my father is worried about attracting attention, why not invite only my relatives and friends for the crowning ceremony. How about inviting the teacher to be the guest of honor and my good friend Zhao Ziming to be the praiser?"
Jia She praised: "This is a good idea. The New Year is approaching, and everyone is busy. It's just a crowning ceremony. Just let your relatives and friends come over, there is no need to make a big fanfare."
It was agreed that the father and son chatted a little more, and Jia Hufang went back to his yard to eat.
On the third day of November, Jia Hu's birthday, he was crowned in advance.
Three days before the coronation ceremony, Jia She gave the ceremony and saw the ancestral hall. Zhang Zhuyun said: "Jia Hu's eldest son, Jia Hu, is growing up and will be crowned on the third day of November. I would like to..."
The day before the salute, the honorable guest was invited again, and he wrote a speech, saying: "In the future, Jia Amnesty will crown the eldest son Jia Hu, and my son will come to him. If you dare to stay, Jia Amnesty will go to Han Wenxuan." Jia Lian volunteered to send it to the Han Mansion.
An anthology in Korean says: "Dare not to get up early." 1
On the day of the coronation ceremony, members of Jia Zheng's family, two uncles of the Liu family, several cousins, and other relatives and friends all wore black clothes and dresses to witness Jia Hu's coming-of-age ceremony.
Han Wenxuan took the crown scarf, held it up, and went up to Jia Hu, wishing: "On the day of the auspicious month, I will start to add Yuan clothes, abandon your young ambitions, follow your Chengde..."
One crown, another crown, three crowns.

Then came the banquet guests.
Xiao Wang's face is radiant because of having a son, so she came to help Liu's early today.
After entering the banquet, Mrs. Liu thanked, "If you hadn't come, my old bones would really fall apart!"
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "What did my sister-in-law say? My sister-in-law hasn't embraced her grandson yet, so she can't be said to be old. Another thing, I think my eldest niece is also capable. In the future, Brother Hu will marry another daughter-in-law. Will my sister-in-law have a chance?" Time to relax!"
Mrs. Xu also smiled and said: "That's not true. I think Ying Er, she can compare us all by herself. If I have such a daughter, I would be willing to die!"
Liu's sister-in-law Da Gu asked, "Why isn't your daughter-in-law here today?"
It turned out that Little Gu was stubborn, she only cared about Jia Rong, Xu, Liu, and Da Gu took turns to persuade her, but they couldn't change her mind.After all, he didn't go to the post with Jia Zhen, and only said to stay in the mansion to take care of his in-laws.
Xu's face was a little pale, "Brother Rong is weak, and the weather is so cold, I dare not let him go out. Mrs. Gu stayed at home to take care of Brother Rong."
The youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.After Jia Hui left, Jia Rong was the eldest grandson of the mansion, and Xu was very happy.Only Brother Rong's mother, Little Gu Shi, made Xu Shi really not like her.
On such a big day, it's a good thing for Xifu, which is separated by a wall, and she and Brother Rong are not sick, but she can't refuse to come.
In the end, he still hated Mrs. Liu for saying that he married the resentful couple, and didn't even do anything on the surface.
Little Gu is ignorant, but Liu, as the aunt in the next room, can't care about her.
Seeing that her natal sisters-in-law Gu and Xu's faces were not good-looking, Liu hurriedly laughed and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law have always cherished Brother Rong in such a snowy weather, and it is for his own good that he is being held. If Brother Rong is sick again , I see if you, a grandmother, feel distressed."
As soon as Jia Rong was mentioned, the atmosphere between the two eased.
Xu smiled and said, "Your mouth is still so sharp!"
Mrs. Gu also laughed, and said: "It will be great if you have a big grandson in the future, we will come back with a joke."
Liu sighed: "Just laugh and laugh. I can't wait for that!"
Xu then asked: "Hu'er is eighteen this year, did you give him a good idea of his marriage?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Liu sighed and complained to several people present: "I don't know what my master thinks. I have been optimistic about several girls in succession. If I want to ask again, he said," Hu I'm still young, so don't worry. I have my own ideas about his marriage.' Ask him when he wants to marry Hu'er, and which family, he just doesn't say, let me not ask. But I was so angry! Tell me about it, how can there be a son's marriage that does not require mother to make a fuss. If he doesn't talk about it today, he won't talk about it tomorrow. He can write the dowry gift list!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
Covering her handkerchief, Gu smiled, secretly said: After all these years, my sister-in-law's mouth is still so unforgiving, which shows that she is living comfortably.
Xiao Wang smiled apologetically, feeling a little sad: This Jia Hu is about to get married, and my son is not yet one year old.When he stands up, I will have grand-nephews.
Xu clutched her belly, she really wanted to laugh her belly out.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and joked: "You bastard, if you don't write a gift list, where's your grandson? Don't let your daughter-in-law, who was finally settled, be scared away by your master's messy dowry!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't stop laughing.
After laughing, everyone understood the meaning behind Liu's words: Jia Hu's marriage, she can't make the decision, and it's useless to find her if they want to get married, let their master go to Rong Guogong.
It turned out that although the Liu family knew that Jia Hu could not have a son, he did not want him to be lonely all his life. He decided to marry him a beautiful wife, and painstakingly arranged several beautiful concubines. to the son's room.Naihe discussed with Jia Amnesty, but he stopped him.
As for Jia Amnesty, he has his own ideas.The favorite families have told Liu Shi to listen, and taught her to inquire about the girl's character carefully, and only wait for Liu Shi to be optimistic about it before proposing marriage.
If you want to ask which ones, but what good name does the girl have, could it be Xifeng, Keqing and others?
It is not.
Jia Amnesty only looked at his father and brother, some became high-ranking officials later, and some went out of everyone.Those who are destined to be promising, even if they change emperors, as long as they have talent, they can still stand out.Therefore, Jia She was not worried at all that if they pushed Cheng Wang to the throne, these people would be depressed.
Among these people, those who have daughters who have not left the cabinet are included in the list.If you look at the girl's character, you can only rely on Liu's pair of piercing eyes.
Then why did Mrs. Liu just say that she was incapable of doing so?
