The Red Mansions

Chapter 80
Releasing your clan affiliation is not a joke, but the most severe punishment for individuals in the patriarchal society of this era.

Especially for families like the Jia clan, the two houses of the Jia family, Ningrong, and the Eighth House of Shenjing, belong to the second son of Ningrong. Heng will walk outside in the future, so he can't regard himself as a native of Ning Kingdom.

To be more serious, to be scolded as a lonely ghost without ancestors.

Those who don't know about it may think that Jia Heng's behavior is bad, surly and rebellious, which is not tolerated by the clan.

Even if he takes part in the imperial examination and bears such a reputation, he will be affected to some extent.

To put it bluntly, social evaluation has fallen off a cliff.

People are social beings, three people make a tiger, and one mouth makes money.

This is the real reason for Jia Heng's generous statement just now.

He couldn't wake up the people in Rongguo Mansion who were pretending to be asleep.

But he can express his attitude.

So, does he need to convince Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty?
No need!
Debate is always about convincing the bystanders, not the other side!
He has to express his own position. Even if he is expelled, it will create a situation where you say you are right and I say I am right.

It cannot be a one-sided clan. Comments such as "expelled from the clan because of their disobedience and rebellion," are circulated among the people.

Otherwise, in this era, the world pays attention to the king, relatives and teachers, the three cardinal principles and the five permanent principles... He, Jia Heng, was slandered by the clan, so that he didn't even have any ancestors, and he became a rootless duckweed.

In fact, in Jia's century-old prince's house, even Leng Zixing, a son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, can tell Jia Yucun, "Nowadays, the population is increasing and affairs are flourishing, and the master and servant are all rich and honorable. There is not one, and the daily pomp and pomp cannot be frugal."

It is impossible for Jia's mother to be unaware of the helm of Jia's mansion.

But don't necessarily think the boat will sink.

Mother Jia knew of Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong's unscrupulous actions, but she didn't realize the seriousness, or she would paralyze herself.

Of course, the Jia family did not do nothing. In the early years, they sent Yuanchun into the palace to show the wealth of their relatives. Jia Zhu entered school at the age of 14 and tried to become an official from Kejia. above business measures.

But if you don't cultivate your internal strength, there will be no men who come out to do things.

Destined to be nothing.

Of course, he wouldn't pay attention to what happened to Jia's family. If Jia She wanted to use the clan as shackles to make him difficult, he made a wrong calculation.

At this moment, Mother Jia's expression was ugly, and she took a steady breath, looking at the young man standing proudly, her old eyes gradually became indifferent.

This young man, whether out of anger or self-preservation, just now used the ancestor's heroic spirit to speak out, which disturbed the peace of the ancestors, and made the entire Jia clan uneasy, and the clan could no longer tolerate him.

"Let the clan elders discuss the matter and discuss in detail the expulsion of Jia Heng's clan status." Jia's mother said in a weak voice, while Li Wan on the side quickly reached out and stroked his back.

When Jia Heng heard the words, his face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "Old lady, I am a descendant of Ningguo, Xiang Wu is not at fault, why did the Jia clan want to expel my clan?"

He doesn't have to act in the identity of the Jia family, and he doesn't have much attachment to this identity, but he can't be splashed with dirty water by the Ningrong Second House!
Jia Mu waved her hands, her face was tired, and she said: "Since you have no clan in mind, then let you go out and set up your own family. People from the two prefectures don't care about you anyway."

Mrs. Xing sneered, "It's not just that you don't pay attention to it, the yellow mouth child is easy to talk big, my Jia family can't tolerate such a big or small bastard!"

Jia She snorted coldly, seeing the young man's expression "gloomy", he relieved his hatred a little, and said: "There is no place for you in the clan, and the house and fields in Liutiaoer Hutong where you live are also clan property. Once the family affiliation is gone, the clan elders will re-examine the source of the mansion and fields, and if it is a family property, you must hand it over!"

This is to kill them all.

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he looked at Jia Heng coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He heard that Jia Heng just got married, if all his property is taken away, he will take his new wife to live on the streets and drink the northwest wind!

Jia She thought bitterly.

Jia Zheng frowned, and sighed, "I'm from the same clan, so why bother..."

Apparently, Mr. Zheng didn't agree with Jia She's behavior, so it was spread to say that his Jia family abused his relatives.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he sneered, "That's why I don't care about the family. The property of the farm and house is the property of Heng's parents. They worked hard to save it, and they don't get a little bit of wealth from the family."

What family property, land and house deeds, are written in the names of his mother and father, without any relationship in the clan.

Of course, Jia Amnesty said that he would not resort to the means of extortion.

Without the protection of the skin of his fellow clansmen, in Jia She's eyes, he is not much better than the stone nerds who will come after him. They are all fish on the chopping board, and Jia She can slaughter him.

"It's just to remove a certain clan's nationality. I also have something to say. After Heng became Ningguo, the head of the two households, because he was not tolerated by the clan Xiaoxiao Ruzhen and pardoned, appeared in the clan and set up a household and guarded one side. , God knows it, and Yin Yin can learn from it!"

After Jia Heng finished speaking loudly, she cupped her hands towards the upper nave where Jia Mu stood, turned around and left.

In Rongxi Hall, there was a complete silence.

Li Wan raised his head and looked at the young man in blue in shock, his elegant and handsome face showed a bit of sadness, such a young man was not tolerated by the clan, and a touch of pity gradually appeared in his eyes.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Danfeng's eyes under Sister Feng's Liu Shao eyebrows, and she thought to herself, what's the use of saying so much?You quarreled with the old man, went crazy and ran wild in the Rongxi hall, now you're all right, the old lady won't help you anymore, now you've been expelled from the clan, let's see how you gain a foothold outside!
Jia Zheng sighed for a long time, wanting to say something, but felt that he was in a dilemma between his clan and his giri, so he finally sighed.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the boy's back in disgust.

Youshi raised a bright and beautiful face, looked at the young man who turned and left with a gloomy expression, and sighed softly in his heart.

In this matter, it was her husband after all...

Behind the bead curtain, Tanchun was holding the handkerchief tightly with his hand hidden in his sleeve, a layer of doubt appeared between Yingxiu's brows, she had been paying attention to "Master Heng" just now, and seeing his calm expression, he seemed to be interested in "Master Heng". There is not much despondency in the matter of expulsion.

Is he not afraid at all?

"Stand on your own side..." Suddenly, Tanchun's white and rosy face paused for a moment, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself, could this be in his favor?

That's right, if you have the ambition and can do it, go out and stand on your own, and you won't be bound by the clan.

But if you just want to go out, it's not that easy. Being expelled from the clan will inevitably hurt your reputation. It is not cheap to become an official through the imperial examination, and it is easy to be criticized by others.

Daiyu frowned slightly, and looked at Baoyu aside, only to see that Baoyu pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were absent-minded, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"My child is arrogant..." Jia She said angrily.

But at this moment, Jia Hengfang walked to the threshold, under the eaves, Lin Zhixiao looked terrified, and said in a startled voice: "Old lady, first master, second master, the angels from the palace are here, please go and receive the order..."

In Rongxi Hall, the people who originally had different thoughts were startled by the bluff, their expressions suddenly changed, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Jia Heng's face was silent, and he pressed his sword out of the Rongxi Hall. Hearing Lin Zhixiao's words behind him, he felt a little emotional, and Emperor Chongping moved so quickly.

"With this sacred decree, the influence of my expulsion will be eliminated. Even if it is an imperial examination, others will not use this festival to talk about it. The case decided by the emperor himself, the Jia family insists on turning black and white and suppressing relatives. People have their own hearts Public opinion."

How should I put it, the status of being a member of the Jia clan is not of much use to him, but instead represents endless trouble.

If the Jia family wanted to keep showing favor to him, he would be in a bit of a dilemma. From then on, his personal fate would be completely tied to the rise and fall of the clan. He would be a nanny for the Jia family in the future, and the Jia family would suck blood from him.

Of course, he might be able to dominate the Jia family and kill Zhen She?But he is a relative, so it is hard to guarantee that someone won't say that he used a side branch to seize the inheritance of the direct family, and it will take a lot of effort.

It is even easier for him to be innocent, to stand on his own side, to be appointed as a marquis and worship a minister, and no one is holding him back.

"I hope that the imperial decree of Emperor Chongping will not cause any new twists and turns." Jia Heng thought silently.

　The Red Mansion is separated from the Yuanzi Opera, and it really lacks a lot of highlights. It can be said that it is basically impossible to watch.

Therefore, it is impossible to completely cut off from Jia's house, but how to cut in, let the protagonist be upright, innocent and talk to Jia's house on an equal footing, not only to write dramatic conflicts, but also not to be sucked by Jia's blood and make readers feel aggrieved. In fact, it is quite a test of skill.
