Chapter 8: The imperial decree of passing Liu's house and meeting his birthday

Early the next morning, Jia Qing was called to get up by carrying Luan Peifeng. Cuiliu stopped serving in front of her two years ago. It was not that she didn't want to, but that Jia Qing didn't want her to be so tired and lived in the west wing room in the yard, meaning that she could rest.

Cui Liu was unwilling to do so, but seeing that the two girls around him had already "get out of the army", she couldn't bear to ignore Jia Qing's intentions, so she had to agree, but she came to his house to take care of him every day.

I felt so beautiful when I watched the two young and beautiful maids dressed him quickly and tidy up the bed. I had long forgotten what I thought about setting rules for them yesterday.

After some cleaning up, of course, the pomp of Big Face Bao is not as good as that of Big Face Bao, but it is also degenerate enough, but Jia Qing likes it very much.

I went to pay my respects to Jia Jing first, and met Jia Rong and his wife who also came to pay my respects outside Jia Jing's house.

"My nephew pays me a blessing to my second uncle"

"My wife pays me a blessing to my second uncle"

"Yeah", he doesn't like Jia Rong very much. He is too soft. On weekdays, Jia Zhen can scare him with just one look. Jia Jing has a preference for Jia Qing, and he is also a little afraid of Jia Qing. Sometimes he doesn't understand where he has eaten the New Year's Eve dinner.

What Jia Qing didn't know was that Jia Zhen was polite in front of Jia Jing on weekdays and was considered polite in front of him. However, since childhood, his father was very good at facing Jia Rong. If he didn't like it, he would either beat or scold him.

Jia Rong is not like Jia Baoyu, she is protected by her grandmother. With his grandmother, Jia Zhen is the flesh in his heart.

However, compared to Jia Rong, he likes the gentle and lovely Qin Keqing very much. He likes this but not the other one. He is only seven years old!

Nodded to Keqing, he put his hands behind his back as if he was an elder, and stepped into the house first.

Little did he know how cute and funny his behavior was in Qin Keqing's eyes, but he just didn't laugh.

The three of them took turns to enter the house. Youshi was in the hall, and she also came to pay her respects. In the mansion, she was the only one who paid the best time to pay her respects.

"I have met my father and sister-in-law."

Jia Rong and others also saw the courtesy, and then Jia Jing ordered You Shi and Qin Keqing, "You go back first, you don't have to be busy here."

"Yes, my wife is leaving"

He said that, he retreated. When he passed by the central hall, You Shi still smiled at Jia Qing.

This sister-in-law is so good at being a human being. This will make me think too much. I am a soul in my twenties.

"Are you all ready?"

After Youshi and his two left, Jia Jing said to Jia Qing and Jia Rong.

The two said yes, and the man didn't need a maid to serve when he went out, which was very convenient. Then Jia Jing called Lai Sheng: "Are the carriages and horses ready?"

"If you say it to me, you're ready."

So everyone came out

The street where the Liu Mansion is located has been crowded with people.

When Jia Qing and his group arrived, they had to get off the sedan chair a while ago. Lai Sheng stepped forward to send the invitation. Then Liu's housemen preached: "Mr. Jing of Ningguo Mansion led everyone in the mansion to congratulate him."

At this time, the person in charge of receiving Liu Yong's son, Liu Xiangbai, the current left minister of the Ministry of Rites, whose courtesy name is Boran. After hearing the news, he quickly walked to the front yard and said before he even went out: "My father's birthday party, I'm sorry to have Brother Jia come here, and Liu is very grateful."

"Brother Boran is polite. It is an honor for me to celebrate the birthday of the elder."

"Haha, I won't talk much, Brother Jia, please"

"Brother Boran, please"

When I arrived at the front yard of Liu Mansion, there was a lotus pond of more than ten acres in the middle. The water stains were clear, there was a central pavilion in the middle, and the surrounding rocks were beautifully carved. You can tell at a glance that it was for maintenance at any time.

At this time, about twenty or thirty tables were placed around the lotus pond. Since it was still early, most of them only served tea and snacks. All the officials of all sizes, wealthy and nobles in the capital, who were of poor grade, only gave gifts. Those who could come in were all high-ranking officials and nobles who received invitations and famous scholars in the clear stream.

After Jia Rong entered the mansion, he went to find an acquaintance and recognized a few rich children.

Jia Qing, as a junior, followed Jia Jing and led him into the center pavilion by Liu Boran, which is the privilege of the children.

There were only three tables in the center pavilion, and only a few people were in their seats at this time. After seeing each other's greetings, Jia Jing sat down on the table to the right, and Jia Qing stood behind Jia Jing.

Next was their free conversation. After a few quarters of an hour, more and more people became more and Jia Qing gradually had a problem.

The most important table is that there are people with civil servants, either the Minister of the Shang Dynasty or the Minister. The left table is that there are military generals, all commanders, commanders. Jia Jing is all nobles, such as Niu Jizong, who is also the first-class count who is the Eighth Duke, is here.

He thought that the ancients were too particular, and there were so many rules for wishing birthdays and meals.

Of course, it is not to say that there are only a few important officials in the country. These are all good friends with the Liu family. In order to avoid suspicion, the princes and nobles mostly sent their children from their families to avoid suspicion, and the younger generations naturally have no right to sit here.

He didn't see anyone from Rongguo Mansion coming

As more and more people were, the whole courtyard became more and more noisy.

Suddenly, a carefree voice rang:

"Brother Jia, is this son you have obtained in your old age? I heard that Yu is quite talented in studying."

"Brother Qin praised him. He is just a naughty boy, so how can he read any books?"

The Qin brother said again: "Brother Jia, why should you be humble? If it weren't for this, how could you take it by your side? Who wouldn't know that Brother Jia, you are the most elegant person." These words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all silently focused on Jia Qing who had been standing quietly behind Jia Jing.

Seeing so many people looking at him, he still looked at him. Everyone here was full of human spirits. He couldn't help but feel that this child was much stronger than that of ordinary children.

Brother Qin doesn't think so. In his eyes, his youngest son is the best. Seeing that he successfully caused a topic and was about to throw out his purpose, he was taken advantage of by an old voice.

"I am late, I hope you will forgive me."

I saw Liu Boran leading the old and the young into the pavilion. The youngest looked only in his twenties. The old one looked over 70 years old, with gray hair on his temples. He walked in with a stick and tremblingly under the support of the two of them.

I didn't say that this old man is Liu Yong.

Sure enough, all the adults stood up to greet each other and said hurriedly that they didn't dare.

After Liu Yong sat down in the throne, Liu Boran apologized to everyone and walked out of the pavilion, he wanted to greet the others.

The young man stood silently at Liu Yong's seat, obviously taking care of Liu Yong.

After a brief conversation, Liu Yong stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and was supported by the young man behind him.

"Today, Liu surrendered to you. Thank you for your attention, I will drink a drink first!" As he said that, he did it all.

The others, including everyone around the pool, stood up, picked up the cup, and replied in unison: "I wish you good luck, longevity and good health!" After that, I also drank a cup together.

After singing the song, they all sat down again.

Like rehearsal

Once I drank the first glass of wine, the banquet officially started.

It was less than a cup of tea, and everyone heard a notice from the front door:

"Prince Beijing arrived"

Everyone was shocked. In this case, the king usually did not come in person. They were asked to come in juniors or senior officials and the housekeepers to come forward. Moreover, the King of Beijing only came after the banquet.

During a few breaths, Liu Boran accompanied a man in a yellow robe and guarded two or three times into the yard.

I saw that this man was only in his prime, with a beautiful face and a star's eyes. He was truly a beautiful figure.

Everyone hurriedly came out of the pavilion, but saw Liu Yong walking almost as fast as he could.

Damn, this old man Liu is not an honest guy, he looks like he is about to die

"The prince is here, I have not been away from you to welcome you. I hope you can forgive me." As he said that, he was about to bow down, and the others bowed.

Beijing King Shuirong hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Yong and said, "Old Master Liu is so serious. My eldest son's birthday, I should have come in advance, but I am the emperor's will today. I will wait until I finish my errands, and I will apologize to the old man and everyone."

As he said that, he did not give everyone polite time and said directly:

"Old Master Liu received the order"
