I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 128 The imperial edict arrives

After Jia She fled, he felt uncomfortable sitting in the carriage.

Although he ran away, he was really worried that his beloved son was not feeling comfortable in the palace.

No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as home. A nest of gold or silver is not as good as the doghouse at home.

He was really out of his mind just now. He actually abandoned Brother Cheng and ran away just because he felt a chill in his crotch. He deserved to die.

Cheng'er is just a little child, and even though he has won a little love from the emperor, he is not as thorough as an adult.

There are many cunning people in the palace, and Jia She is afraid that they will plot against Jia Cheng. It would be bad if he gets involved in the palace fight.

Besides, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace all have a pair of eyes that look up to wealth and status. Will Cheng'er be neglected by them in the palace? The more Jia She thought about it, the more worried he became.

He was so anxious that he wanted to turn back to the palace immediately and rescue Jia Cheng. What could the emperor do? The emperor could not snatch someone else's son.

He had just asked the driver to turn around when a young eunuch caught up with him. He was sent by Jia Cheng to deliver a message.

"Lord Jia, Earl Rui'an asked me to bring you a message saying that the Emperor is taking care of him in the palace. You don't have to worry about him. He will be back home in a couple of days."

Jia She had tears in his eyes. This grown man was so moved by Jia Cheng's words that his eyes were filled with tears.

His brother Cheng is still thinking about him. He is afraid that he will worry, so he sends someone to pass on a message. This child is really lovable.

Jia She took off the purse and stuffed it into the young eunuch's hand, "What is the name of this eunuch? I would like to trouble you to take good care of Cheng'er in the palace.

If he encounters any problems in the palace, please pass on a message to Rongguo Mansion, and I will reward him handsomely."

The young eunuch held the purse in his hand, feeling the weight of it, and the smile on his face became much more genuine. He replied respectfully: "Lord Jia, this is not allowed. I am Liang Xiaoliu, a humble man, and I am not worthy of taking care of Earl Rui'an.

The Emperor loves Earl Rui'an, and we servants dare not neglect him. If Earl Rui'an misses home and needs a message, we servants will personally go to Rongguo Mansion to report the news."

After hearing this, Jia She put the ring on his finger into Liang Xiaoliu's hand and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Liang."

Liang Xiaoliu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, my godfather is Eunuch Liang, you can just call me Xiaoliuzi."

Jia She was not completely innocent. After hearing what Liang Xiaoliu said, he asked tentatively: "Is your godfather Liang Jiugong, the eunuch?"

Liang Xiaoliu nodded somewhat proudly, "That's right."

Liang Jiugong is a favorite of the emperor. Even though Wei Zhu is now jumping up and down trying to replace his godfather, who is his godfather?

She is the person who grew up with the emperor, so naturally they have a special bond.

But now that Liang Jiugong is old, the emperor feels sorry for him and doesn't allow him to do hard work. He mostly uses younger eunuchs to run errands.

But Kangxi also showed great favor to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Xiaoliu had Liang Jiugong as his godfather, so his status naturally rose. He looked down on Wei Zhu, after all, there was a competitive relationship between them.

This time, Liang Xiaoliu came out to deliver a letter to Jia Cheng at the instruction of Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong had been with Kangxi for many years, so he naturally knew Kangxi's emotional changes clearly. He could see that Kangxi really liked Jia Cheng.

I even like him more than some of my less familiar sons.

Jia Cheng has no royal blood and is not involved in the fight for the throne, so the emperor can rest assured and favor him.

Liang Jiugong could see that Jia Cheng would definitely have great fortune in the future. This kind of up-and-coming talent did not have a deep foundation and was best suited for investment before he became successful.

So Liang Jiugong sent his godson Liang Xiaoliu to help Jia Cheng deliver the letter, which was considered a good idea.

The competition among eunuchs was very fierce. The reason why Liang Jiugong had been able to stand firm for so many years was that he was good at guessing Kangxi's thoughts.

He loves what Kangxi loves and hates what Kangxi hates. He is a little too clever.

When Jia She heard that Liang Xiaoliu's godfather was Liang Jiugong, his attitude towards him improved a little.

He could be arrogant to other young eunuchs, but he didn't dare to be so to Liang Jiugong's godson.

In order to ensure that Jia Cheng could receive better care in the palace, Jia She took off the jade pendant he was wearing and put it in Liang Xiaoliu's hand.

"Young Master Liu, my son Cheng is still young. Please give him more guidance in the palace. I would like to thank you here."

Liang Xiaoliu smiled as he held the jade pendant, which was obviously worth a lot of money, and quickly responded: "Although Lord Rui An is young, he is smart and clever, and it is not difficult to say that he is not good at making suggestions.

But in the palace, the servants would always pay attention to Earl Ryan to make sure he had good food and fun.”

When Jia She heard this, he was very satisfied. He exchanged a few polite words with Liang Xiaoliu before returning to Rongguo Mansion with peace of mind.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao ran up and said, "Master, you are finally back. The old lady is angry."

"What's wrong? Why is mother so angry again? Is Wang Yarong causing trouble again?"

Lin Zhixiao shook his head. Mrs. Wang was still recuperating from her weak health in the Buddhist temple, so how could she come out and cause trouble?

"Master, the old lady wanted to talk to Master Cheng, and then she found out that Master Cheng was not there. She waited for a long time but he still didn't come back. The old lady asked Li Meng for information, but Li Meng didn't tell her, so the old lady got anxious."

When Jia She heard about this matter, he was not anxious at all.

He straightened his clothes and slowly followed Lin Zhixiao to Rongqing Hall.

Jia She came to Rongqing Hall unhurriedly and found Jia Min and Wang Xifeng were coaxing Jia's mother, while his wife, Mrs. Xing, was sitting there like a wooden stake, her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart.

As soon as Jia She showed his head, Grandmother Jia frowned and scolded him, "Where did you hide Cheng'er, you evil creature?

He didn't even tell me when he was out running errands, and I couldn't find Brother Cheng, so I couldn't let it go. "

Jia Min looked at Jia She with condemnation in her eyes. Jia Cheng was not only her nephew who had done her a favor, but also her junior uncle in her previous life.

She had originally wanted to talk to Jia Cheng today about how to solve women’s plight and how to help more women.

Jia Min wants to help the millions of suffering women in the world. This is the mission she came up with after thinking about it all night. Only in this way can she complete her merits and return to heaven.

Now that Jia She has returned on his own, but Jia Cheng is nowhere to be seen, Jia Min is even more anxious than her mother.

Jia She cleared his throat and raised his head with an arrogant look, "Madam, I didn't hide Cheng-ge'er. We were going to do business."

Grandmother Jia snorted coldly, "What can you do? And Li Meng beside you is really your loyal servant. I asked him where you went, but he kept silent. Do I still have a place in this mansion?"

When she couldn't find Jia Cheng, Grandmother Jia became anxious, fearing that the unreliable Jia She had taken him out and lost him.

Jia She hurriedly tried to calm Grandmother Jia down, "Madam, you are the ancestor of the family, how come you have no status?

But Brother Cheng and I did go there to do some serious business, and this matter is of great importance, so the news cannot leak out before it is accomplished.

So I told Li Meng not to tell anyone, but now that it’s done, I can tell anyone.”

Grandmother Jia snorted again, "Then tell me, what business did you go to do? Where is Cheng'er? Why didn't you bring Cheng'er here?"

The corners of Jia She's mouth slightly raised, forming an arc. He felt that his smile must be suave, unrestrained and handsome.

But when Lady Jia saw his ruffian appearance, she felt her eyes were dirty. How could he still look so unserious at such an old age? He was not as sensible as Brother Cheng.

Jia She didn't know that Grandmother Jia was muttering about him in her heart. He said cheerfully: "Madam, I took Cheng'er to the palace to see the emperor today. I..."

Before Jia She finished speaking, there was a panicked voice outside, and Nanny Xu ran in and said, "Master, there is an imperial decree outside, asking you to go out and receive it."

When the people in the room heard that the imperial edict had arrived, they immediately became chaotic.

Jia She smiled slightly and said calmly: "Old Madam, the imperial edict is coming, which is a good thing. You should go and dress up first. I will order someone to pack up and go out to receive the edict."

Grandmother Jia quickly asked, "She'er, what is the imperial edict for?"

Jia She smiled triumphantly and said, "From today on, I am no longer a first-class general. Please call me Marquis of Rongguo from now on."

"Marquis Rongguo?"

"Oh my god, Rong, Rong Guohou?"

The surprised voices of the women in the room came one after another. Jia She admired everyone's surprised expressions and thought that he should not tell them about Cheng'er's title of Earl of Rui'an for the time being, so as to scare them later!
