Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

Jia Lian was also pissed off by the second wife this time. I remember that from a very young age, Jia Zhu was always at the top of his troubles. Because his servants always said, "How about Master Zhu", he always wanted to work hard.

But the second wife always persuaded him, "Our brother Lian was born prematurely, so his body is naturally weaker, so it's better to take good care of it. How can this coursework be as important as your body?

Moreover, this huge mansion will belong to our Brother Lian in the future, how can you risk your life for this future?On the contrary, you, big brother Zhu, will have to rely on yourself for everything in the future, and you won't even have a foothold if you don't read more books. "

Jia Lian remembered that he wiped away his tears with a handkerchief because of seeing his aunt's sad face, and even patted his chest to promise, "Lian'er's belongs to Big Brother Zhu, Madam, don't be sad!"

At that time, although he didn't quite understand the meaning of the second wife's words, it didn't prevent him from remembering it firmly.

Although as he got older, he became more and more dandy, and he never heard these words from the second wife again, but these words from childhood have actually been engraved in his bones.

So subconsciously, this Jia mansion will belong to Jia Lian from now on, and although some of the things in the storeroom will be divided among the families, most of them will still belong to him.

After Mrs. Xing entered the door, the old lady and the second lady said both inside and outside the meaning: this man is greedy for money and stingy, and the most petty, how many good things will be stolen from the warehouse in her hands?As for the second wife, who was born in the Wang family, she has seen too much wealth and honor, so she would not pay attention to such a little thing, so it is better to let the second wife be the housekeeper.

For so many years, he also believed it deeply, that's why he was so easily persuaded by Wang Xifeng, leaving his old father and stepmother behind and came over to do errands for others.

However, this time it completely overturned his cognition. It turns out that the second wife who came from a wealthy background is also greedy for money?It turns out that if the power in this mansion is not handed over to him for a day, whoever owns this property may not be known!

Think about it, now the mansion is getting more and more difficult, the big property has not changed, but the money is getting less and less, and I feel a little impatient.

He has been afraid of poverty since he was a child. When he was a child, he only relied on such a small amount of monthly money. At most, the old lady Mrs. Wang subsidized him when he went out to fool around. , but the cost of going out to entertain is increasing day by day, how can that little money be enough?

Moreover, the daughter-in-law is a pungent one, and every time he reaches out to her, he will be ridiculed. No matter how shameless he is, there will still be pimples in his heart.

No, this time, although Zhou Rui's family and other moths are excluded, the second wife is not injured, especially after such a big incident, the key to the treasury is still in her hand, how can such a cheap thing happen.

People are always like this, how much they respected and trusted in the past, how alienated and hated they will be after being betrayed, Jia Lian is like this with Mrs. Wang now, the second wife who is the perfect image of a loving mother in his mind has flaws, then everything before will be let go Buddhas are all carefully crafted lies, with a bright appearance, but the inside has already been rotten to the core, and there is an unspeakable stench everywhere!

Distraught, he unknowingly went back to the study of the big house, Jia She, and was stopped there by the servant guarding outside.

Jia Amnesty saw his son's distraught look by the window, he couldn't help but sneered, he was so old that he didn't even know how to get close to his own father, and he just followed Erfang's hypocrisy with one heart, his son was more confused than him I am still confused.

Someone let him in, but he just drank tea there, ignoring Jia Lian who was distracted there, and was still thinking about whether to take brother Cong out to eat something good at night, this son is older than him Well, he hasn't been out since the Lantern Festival. He has a son and not a daughter. It's not good to stay at home all the time. The point is that it gives him less chance to show off.

Jia Lian came back to his senses, saw the master was in a daze and ignored him, and couldn't help shouting, "Master!"

"Hey, why don't you call me Grand Master?"

Jia Lian blushed when she asked a single sentence, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "It was the son who was ignorant before and made the master sad. I hope the master will forgive my son for the sake of being provoked by someone with a heart, right?"

When did Jia Amnesty see this son respect him from the bottom of his heart?Every time I saw him before, although he was respectful on the face, but in his heart, he was disgusted by his embarrassment and uselessness, he just didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Now I finally see remorse in my son. It is impossible to say that he is uncomfortable. According to his original intention, he has already closed his mouth proudly, but now he still holds on to the airs and refuses to let go. He doesn't say forgiveness, just The teacher said: "Now I finally know some relatives and distances? No matter how bad I am, I was born to you. What are those things? Whoever has sons and daughters is not more precious than you?..." There are a lot of balabala.

What Jia Lian heard was even more ashamed, and he knelt there and kept pleading guilty. He was quick-spoken and kept saying good things, which made Jia She even happier.

Finally, he mercifully called him up, and said earnestly, "You and Brother Cong are the only two sons under me, if you don't think about you, what else will you do for?"

"Yes, it was my son who was confused in the past, and he actually valued his cousins ​​more than his own brothers! The father only cared about his son's youth and stupidity, and gave his son a chance to repent. I'm thinking about it."

Hearing what his son said, Jia She finally cheered up and decided to give this rebellious son a little sweetness. He took out a box from the hidden compartment, took the key and opened it, but inside was a stack of After rubbing the paper with his hands for a while, he threw it to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian took it over and looked at it for a while, and was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth, but her eyes were shining, "Master, this is, this is..."

Seeing his son like that, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but sneered again, and said, "Don't get too excited, these things are not with me."

"Not with the master?" Jia Lian's voice was a little raised, his wife was gone, and his son was still young, if he didn't give the dowry to the husband for safekeeping, who else could he give it to?

"Of course not with me. Your grandmother and second wife are too kind to you, but they don't trust me as a father, so after your mother is gone, they have been collecting the dowry for you!" Sarcastic, but the next words made Jia Lian even more embarrassed, "Didn't they give it to you? It was agreed at the time that it would be transferred to you for safekeeping when you got married. Even the patriarch knew about it."

In fact, when Jia Lian got married, Mrs. Wang sorted out the dowry. Although it has shrunk a lot, after all, Zhuangzi's shop has been in a recession for several years. Many of the losses in these years had to be changed in location or size. Silk, satin, cloth, wood, furniture, medicinal materials and the like will be consumed. These things may be turned into ashes after a certain period of time. No matter how much is missing, no one can tell what it is. Can damage hair...

In addition, although she didn't dare to touch anything like porcelain jewelry, but because the list was not as detailed as the label, she could still do it in terms of weight.

Although her eldest sister-in-law's family is also a family of poetry and books, it is not ordinary poor and comparable. The ancestor was also a figure who helped the Taizu conquer the world, but because he was a civil servant, he was not conferred like the Jia family. Useless, even the reward from Taizu is enough for them to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

Although the clan members withered for some reason, and there was only one grandfather close to her, but her grandfather was a veteran of several dynasties, a true teacher of the emperor, even a person who is not fully respected by him today.

So when Mrs. Zhang got married, the queen mother, empress and even the emperor all gave the dowry. At that time, she was really the first among the noble girls in the capital, and non-princesses could not be treated like this.

It's a pity that Mr. Zhang left not long after that, which made her suffer from some kind-hearted mothers-in-law. However, if it's just like this, the patience will pass. How many people in this world have never suffered from mother-in-law? Difficult daughter-in-law.

However, Mrs. Zhang's body was a little fragile due to some reasons in the early years, and it took many years after giving birth to the eldest son to conceive again. How could she know that the eldest son died suddenly and unexpectedly when she was about to give birth, how could this be supported?Although she reluctantly gave birth to her second son, but so far she could only stay ill in bed and left soon after.

Mrs. Wang was ready, but seeing that Jia She and his son didn't mention it at all, she was naturally happy to continue holding it in her hands. Even if it was reduced again and again, the dowry still made her a little greedy.

But he said that Jia Lian was holding the dowry list left by his mother there. Occasionally, I heard that the first wife's dowry might have been ruined by the elder.

Therefore, subconsciously, he never thought about finding the dowry left by his mother.

Thinking about it now, it looks like someone deliberately whispered it into his ear!

Moreover, the master knew the real situation, but he never took out these things from his wife. It can be seen that he was disappointed in his son to the end, so he was so indifferent. The master's contempt made me feel ashamed.

But now he wants to know more about his mother's natal family. Seeing that this dowry is not an ordinary family, why hasn't he contacted her in these years?

When Jia She saw his son asking, he didn't hide it. He also missed that gentle and beautiful woman a little bit, and became a little emotional, so he started talking to his son in detail.

It turned out that although the Zhang family was prominent, the Zhang family's father, brother and several uncles were all killed because of the rebellion of the kings. The Zhang family, which was originally full of talents, was sacrificed by several loyal servants except for this little baby girl who was still in its infancy. After being rescued, there was only an old man who accompanied him in the palace.

When Mr. Zhang learned that all the sons and daughters of his family who were keeping filial piety for his old wife in his hometown were killed by the rebellious king, he vomited blood in the hall. It was the late emperor who sent an imperial doctor to rescue them. After that, the old man dragged his sick body and devoted himself to revenge superior.

Originally, after killing the rebels, his body also collapsed. Seeing that he didn't have a good life for a few days, he didn't expect that there was actually a granddaughter in this world who was brought back by a loyal servant who was in a mess. How could he Not ecstatic?

Hearing the old servant's cry, "The servants also want to save the young masters, but the thief is too vicious, and there are traitors in the family, the appearance of the young masters is remembered accurately, the servants can't... …It was Miss Liu who gave up her child, and relying on the fact that few people had seen her, she dragged the servants to hug her out... After she came out, there were chaos all the way. The servants were originally four people. But two more died..."

How could Mr. Zhang blame them? King Chen is the most greedy and vengeful. In the past in Beijing, the late emperor was often impeached by him when he was here. It is also because of this that the disaster that followed.

There were countless casualties in the Zhang family this time, and now the patriarch can only be blamed on him. These people are already the great benefactors of his Zhang family for being able to rescue his granddaughter!

Mrs. Zhang has been favored by the old man all his life, and he is always with him to teach him, but it may be that he suffered a lot on the way when he was sent out, and he hurt his body a little, which made his body weak all the time.

After hearing this, Jia Lian frowned and looked at the dowry list in his hand. According to his father, the Zhang family was very powerful, and only his mother was left in the whole family, so how could there be only such a dowry?

Jia Amnesty also understood his son, although he was shrewd, he was also a little greedy. Seeing his frown, he shouted, "Not enough? According to the law of the country, half of the wealth of a desperate family must be handed over to the national treasury, and the Zhang family later returned to the state. One after another, some fleeing clansmen came back, and the old man felt ashamed of them, so he naturally distributed a lot of money, and your mother already has a lot of dowry, what are you still thinking about?"

But after thinking about it, he felt a little gloating, "However, I don't know how much will be left after it is in the hands of your second aunt."

Although Jia Lian had learned a lesson there, he was still a little unconvinced by his father's reprimand. He couldn't help muttering in his heart that the old man of the Zhang family must have chosen his mother's marriage out of thousands of choices. I really don't know why he chose his father?

My heart was itchy like a cat's paw scratching it, but I didn't dare to ask, I was struggling there, but I saw Brother Cong walking in from the outside.

Jia Cong saw that Jia Lian was a little strange, the father and son chatted for a while, and Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian away.

Afterwards, he excitedly called Mr. Qiao, and together they took Brother Cong to eat delicious food outside.

After that day, there was another flurry of chaos in Erfang. For the first time, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng joined forces and aimed at Mrs. Wang with the same goal.

After Gein Jia Lian asked for it, the dowry Mrs. Wang took out was only four or five tenths of the original dowry, not to mention that many of the farm shops had changed locations, and most of the dead things were destroyed.

There are not many old people left by Zhang's family in Zhuangzi's shop. How can this make Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng angry?

But after the two of them forced Mrs. Wang to make up the dowry at the beginning, Mother Jia actually opened her mouth to put pressure on her. The words said that Mrs. Wang had worked so hard to manage these things all these years, and even if she lost something, she would just treat it as nothing. It took a lot of hard work.

The two couples almost laughed out loud when they said this. Those shops on the list are not located in first-class or second-class locations. After all these years, let alone run their own business, they don’t even know how much they can collect rent. , How dare you despise hard work?

Since it was really hard work, why didn't the old man take care of it back then?Presumably the Grand Master will not spend so much in these years!

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she wanted to go back to her mother's house to file a complaint, but she didn't expect that before she could do so, Wang Ziteng, who was far away, sent her a letter, warning her to be of one mind with her aunt and not to be provoked and separated because of some trivial matters.

Coupled with the fact that Aunt Xue often came to persuade her with specious words, she now fully understands her position in her natal family.

What is Wang Ziteng's favorite niece?

Why is it that the most outstanding girl of the Wang family's generation was brought up as a man?

Fart, it's almost like being raised by a fool!

Wang Xifeng, who had always been strong, couldn't bear this blow, and even fell seriously ill because of it, and stayed in bed for half a month.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Cong looked at the mess over there, but they never reached out their hands. The husband and wife have always been a little self-righteous, and they have been too involved with that side. , I don't know when I will be confused again!

Almost a month has passed, Jia Cong saw that Jia Lian was still entangled with the two women in the inner house, and felt that he really had a little high opinion of his elder brother.

Today, when chatting with Jia She, he asked, "Why doesn't daddy help second elder brother?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty had a blank expression on his face, "Who can take out the good things in the hands of the old lady and the second wife? Especially this time, the second daughter-in-law must have paid for the old lady, so the old lady must I will decide for him to the end, your father and I can't do anything about it!"

Jia Cong always thought that his father was watching the show with him, how could he know that he really had no choice.

Helpless, he could only talk to him in a low voice, Jia She's eyes lit up when he heard it, he patted his son's shoulder, his expression softened, thinking to himself, he really has a good son, really clever!

Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this old man was too stupid, he couldn't even think of such a simple thing.

The father and son murmured again in private, so Jia Zheng, who was drinking with ordinary colleagues in the restaurant that day, met Jia She, who had an appointment with ordinary friends.

People on both sides are either rich or noble, even if they are not familiar with each other, they will say hello when they meet.

And because the two guests today were close friends, they closed the table after the final discussion. There were more people and it was more lively, and eating and drinking could broaden some contacts.

When the banquet was about to end, Jia Amnesty lost a few rounds in a row because of boxing games, so he drank a little too much, and his eyes were a little straight.

The people around him knew that he had reached his limit, so they stopped persuading him to drink, and ordered them to serve hangover soup.

Unexpectedly, when someone brought soup over, Jia Amnesty knocked it over with a palm, stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Jia Zheng, and shouted loudly with his tongue out, "Jia Zheng, are you still People!" One sentence attracted the attention of the whole table, and everyone stared at him in astonishment.

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he thought he was a gentleman, and as a younger brother, he couldn't argue with his elder brother, so he just cupped his hands to the left and right, "Brother, he drank too much, which disturbed everyone's interest, please bear with us."

Everyone at the table also thought that Jia She had drunk too much, so they didn't think much about it. Which brother didn't have a few quarrels, especially when they drank a little wine, there were quite a few people who started fighting, but there was nothing suspicious about one sentence. of.

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty ignored Jia Zheng and hugged the waist of the people around him instead. Not only that, but he also cried, "Father, dear father, why did you leave so early?" ?

It's my son's incompetence, son, I'm sorry for you, not only can't keep your title of duke, but after you left, someone even robbed the main house, Rongxi Hall, so I can only live next to the horse shed and receive at home There is no room for any guest!

Forget about these, he is my own younger brother, he can give me his life if he wants, but why do they still want to plot about Lian'er's things... ah?

Even his biological mother's dowry was not spared. Lian'er is also from the blood of the Zhang family. The dowry was the last thought left by the old master of the Zhang family for his descendants. How dare they just do it like this? ..."

To say that Jia Amnesty was a bit of an act at the beginning, but when he cried and cried, he became more sincere, and the more he stuttered, the more excited he became. Usually he didn't want to ask, but when he thought about it, he had suffered so much all these years. Wronged!

There, the more I cried, the more chaotic my mind became, but it also made the listeners feel more sad.

Jia Zheng hurriedly came over to tease him, but he just kept arguing: "My brother is used to talking nonsense after drinking too much, please don't worry about it."

But which one of the people here is not discerning, and they have heard a lot about the Jia family. Although the usual news can only be superficial, they don’t know that the internal contradictions are so deep. What I said, but I kept it firmly in my heart, and no one thought that Jia She was talking nonsense!

Don't you know if you tell the truth after drinking? Jia She should be so aggrieved and has nowhere to vent, so he just drank a little wine and started a fight, so he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Especially the one who was hugged by Jia She, at first he felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and secretly resented him, but later, when he saw how old he was, his face was full of tears and snot. Thinking about it can't help but sympathize.

Looking at Jia Zheng who came to help his elder brother, how did he feel that the man was guilty? !

Jia Zheng is indeed guilty. He has lived in Rongxi Hall for more than ten years. Everyone knows this. It's just that Jia's mother is suppressing him there, and there are not enough elders in the clan, so no one talks about it. .

He also knew about Mrs. Wang's deduction of Jia Lian's mother's dowry, but there were many orphan calligraphy and paintings, and many of them had been given away by him or kept in his collection.

So when Jia Lian came to look for him a few days ago, he just dismissed him as ignorant.

Jia Zheng only thought that this was a bad debt, and Jia Lian was a junior, so what else could he do other than suffer this boring loss?

Just want to sue, there is another family ugliness that should not be publicized, which also involves the old lady, whether it is Jia Amnesty or Jia Lian, it is unfilial to speak out.

But what he didn't expect was that Jia Amnesty would come here today, and it would be impossible to go out and complain plainly, but if he pretended to be drunk like this, who could say anything, it was just sympathy.

Especially since Jia She's voice was so loud, people next door and passing by could hear it clearly with a little attention. These words will spread out sooner or later, and I don't know how many gossips will be caused.

Yes, Jia Zheng believed that Jia She was pretending to be crazy with the help of alcohol, and it was probably his setup today. I just wonder when did this brother become so smart?To be able to do this.

He was caught off guard and had no choice but to think about getting him away first, but as a brother, he usually put on a posture of obeying his elder brother, so how dare he be rough?Now Jia Amnesty can't listen to persuasion, he really has nowhere to say anything now.

In addition, at this moment there were two drunken people on the table who were booing, and they kept asking Jia Zheng, "Do you know who took the dowry from Mrs. She Laoxian?"

Seeing the probing or fiery eyes of the guests at the table, he really wanted to find a hole in the ground and get into it. He had never been so ashamed since he was a child. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was burning hot now. ...

But how does this make him say?The mansion was greedy for that dowry, and Jia She had nothing to say. He could think of it with his toes, but if he mentioned his wife, he would be self-reporting. If he pushed it to the old lady Above all, it's unfilial to say these words out of his mouth!

Jia Zheng only felt a fire burning in his head, and his whole body was shaking all the time. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or fright, and his body seemed to lose control. He was at home, wondering if the trip out of the restaurant was a dream, but couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he hurriedly called the leader who followed him over.

The man only knew that the two masters were drunk and were carried back by them. What happened in the room, he had been waiting outside, but he didn't know.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng could only sit there trembling. The memory was so vivid that he didn't think it was a dream.

I have been fidgeting and walking back and forth, hoping that this time will pass quickly, and I also hope that such a peaceful moment can last forever.

But no matter what, the last thing he expected happened. After the morning court, he received news from some relatives and friends, saying that Jia Zheng was impeached by someone in the morning court. The Rongxi Hall where he lives, even instigated his wife to embezzle Mo's dead wife's dowry.

Rongxi Hall is still a trivial matter. After all, Mrs. Jia is still there, and she is the one who bears the bad name. The regulations are not something he can live in.

However, the embezzlement of the dead wife's dowry was unbearable to the emperor. Jia Zheng's dead sister-in-law was the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang was a veteran of three generations and two generations of imperial teachers, one of which was conferred by him personally.

Moreover, because he was the one who took action to stabilize the Jiangshan Sheji and put down the rebellion of the kings, even though the prince was still there, Mr. Zhang, as a literati, still gave up his insistence on orthodoxy, and instead fully supported him to proclaim himself emperor.

This was also the main reason why he was able to quickly secure his position in the court later on. Otherwise, his power was mainly in the army. Without the old man's persuasion, those hard-headed old antiques would not be so honest after he clearly killed the prince.

The older he is now, the more he misses those loyal ministers and generals who passed away.

Mr. Zhang only had one granddaughter left in his life, and Mrs. Zhang was gone. Besides, men and women were different, so he couldn't ask too many questions, but the dowry after death could not be left to his son, but it made him directly angry.

After the early court, he directly sent the powerful inner eunuch to Jia's house, the emperor wanted to know what was going on!
