Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Mrs. Wang is pregnant again. After giving birth to a son, Jia Zhu, and a daughter, Jia Yuanchun, this is naturally a joyous event for the Rongguo Mansion.

But Mother Jia couldn't help feeling a little worried at this time. The youngest son has been married for ten years and has never had a child. If it was someone else's family, the mother would have gone to find other women for her son to be his concubine.

But Jia's mother didn't dare to have the slightest idea now. As early as the third year after her youngest son got married, because Fu Ling had never been pregnant, she asked the master when she went to the temple.

In the end, the master said that her son was a person from outside the sky, and that it was an accident to come to Jia's house. If he forced to keep the heir, it would affect his fate and life span.

Since Jia Mu asked, she must have believed the words of the master. Although she had some doubts about the "people from outside the sky", as long as she thought that it would affect her fate and lifespan, she still didn't dare to try it.

Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother sighed at Mrs. Wang's belly that was already showing signs of pregnancy, but she was about to give birth in a month, and he knew that she had thought of Jiang Yan's childlessness, and comforted him, "Mother doesn't have to worry about the third brother's heir. , my third brother and I are blood brothers, my child is the third brother's child, if the third brother likes it in the future, it is not a bad idea to adopt it under the third brother's name."

"It's not necessary to adopt from your children. There are some children in the family who can choose, but no matter how good the adopted children are, they are not as good as the biological ones after all." Jia Mu has been thinking about whether there is a way to crack it all these years. , but it has been seven or eight years, and no solution has been found.

Mrs. Wang was a little relieved to see Jia Mu and Jia Zheng brushing aside this topic. She didn't want the child she had conceived so hard in October to be someone else's son. Even if she wanted to adopt her own brother's son, it had to be a concubine. Born in the room, it doesn't make sense for her son to adopt to the third room.

"The third brother wrote in a letter earlier that he would come back to live for a while, so he must be home in the next few days."

Mother Jia nodded, "This time his wife will come back with him. The journey will definitely be slower, but I think it will be a few days. Let someone prepare for it. Then you brothers can have a good reunion."

The last time Jiang Yan returned to Rongguo Mansion was two years ago. After returning, Mother Jia took him to meet many masters. I think it was just like that when he came back this time.

Jiang Yan didn't know how the master told Jia's mother, nor how the master could see that he was a "man from outside the sky". Anyway, he avoided the pressure of having a child.

Even though Mother Jia still wants to find the master to resolve it, she won't be as urging as she was in the first three years.

When the carriage drove into the capital, Fu Ling opened a corner and looked at the bustling streets around. This time she came back with the main purpose of preventing her uncle from writing that poem. matter.

"We will live for a while when we come back this time, will we just live in Rongguo Mansion?"

"If you don't like it, you can live in another courtyard, but people will gossip." When he went to live in Jinling, some people talked a lot of gossip, and now he doesn't live in the Rongguo Mansion. More gossip will come out.

Of course, those people dare not say it in front of Jiang Yan, but it's not necessarily true in front of Fu Ling, especially when her second uncle of the Fu family has always wanted to trouble her father, and maybe even marry them for many years at this time Not linked with having children.

After all, they don't know the rhetoric of "people from outside the sky", and of course Mother Jia would not say such words to the outside world.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Yan and Fu Ling are really a loving couple. They have been married for many years without any children and still do not have any concubines. Fu Ling still maintains a youthful appearance as if he was 20 years old.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Duke Rongguo's mansion, and a group of people hurried up to greet him. Jiang Yan and Fu Ling got off the car as quickly as possible.

Mrs. Wang was there when Fu Ling came to Jia Mu's courtyard, and Jia She's successor Mrs. Xing was also there. Jia She's original wife died shortly after giving birth to her son Jia Lian, and she later married Mrs. Xing.

After saluting, Fu Ling sat in her seat.

"It's said that Fengshui in the south raises people. Look at the ones raised by the third sibling. Those who don't know think they are newlyweds. Who can tell that they have been married for ten years." Mrs. Xing saw Fu Ling's airy and tender body. Her skin, which seemed to be able to squeeze out water, felt a burst of envy. They were all people who had never given birth, but her state was completely incomparable to Fu Ling's.

"My sister-in-law is full of praise. No matter how good the southern Fengshui is, it can't compare to the blessings of the two sister-in-laws in front of their ancestors."

Thousands of wears and thousands of flattery, every time Fu Ling returns to Jinling, he always uses his eloquent mouth to make Jia's mother happy.

"You know how to cheer me up, kid. You're tired all the way. Go and rest. If you have anything to say, wait until you're done resting."

Mother Jia guessed that Jiang Yan was about to come out from Jia She and Jia Zheng's place, so she asked Fu Ling to go back first, and at the same time let Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang go back.

What the master said about Jiang Yan was only known to the four of them, mother and son. She purposely kept people from talking about it. Firstly, it was not good to say such a thing, and secondly, if Fu Ling and the Fu family found out, it might cause trouble. .

A few years ago when the old Fu family was the housekeeper, the Fu family was very upright. Now it has been replaced by the old man of the Fu family, that is, the housekeeper of Fu Song, Fu Ling's father. He is cowardly and often reports that he was bullied by his second brother Fu Bai. Fu Song Yifang is good, but Fu Bai Yifang often has bad stories.

What is happening now makes people think that the Fu family's daughter is infertile, making the Fu family weak in front of their family, otherwise it will fuel the Fu family's arrogance.

Jia's mother was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, but Jiang Yan had already told Fu Ling the good news of "no need to have a baby". Fu Ling knew it clearly, but since it was all acting, she naturally didn't have any thoughts about Jia's mother's thoughts.

Although her parents are worried that if she does not have children, she will be bullied at her husband's house, but she just needs to show her life to her parents truthfully. If a contract couple does not have children, they can do business and make money. In her current state, she is happy. Already very satisfied.

Going back to rest in the well-packed yard, she has been exercising all these years, and she is not afraid of being exhausted. What she has to do now is to think about what she should do when she returns to Fu's house tomorrow.

As for what Jia's mother and Jiang Yan said, she didn't care at all. After ten years of getting along, she could tell that Jiang Yan was a very good partner.

At the same time, in Jia Zheng's courtyard, just after Xiu Mu met Jiang Yan today, a servant girl came to report that his wife invited him over.

Mrs. Wang is his wife, but she doesn't live in the same place on weekdays, especially after she became pregnant and became pregnant.

Confused, I went to Mrs. Wang's room, and saw her thinking about a pair of embroidery, "Why did Madam ask me to come?"

"I was at the old ancestor's place just now, and I saw that the old ancestor was worried because the third brother had no children." Mrs. Wang got up and said, when Jiang Yan arrived at Jiamu, she couldn't wait to drive out the three sisters-in-law. Talk to Jiang Yan if you have something private.

And the private words Jia Mu was able to say to Jiang Yan are likely to be about heirs. Although Jia Mu did not say that her child would be adopted under Jiang Yan's name, she still had to be on guard. Jiang Yan and his wife did not live in Rongguo Mansion these years. However, Mother Jia could see them thinking about her.

The big house always said that the ancestor doted on their house, but only she knew that the ancestor doted on Jiang Yan and his wife the most. If she had been married for ten years and had no children, she might be treated how she would be treated.

In fact, Jia Zheng didn't care whether Jiang Yan had any heirs. At worst, he just adopted a good one from the clan. Is there anything to discuss about this?

"Ma'am, if you have time, please comfort your mother. You can't force an heir. When the time comes, you will naturally have a child." Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

Seeing that he didn't care, Mrs. Wang said after a little thought, "Actually, if the master wants to make the ancestor feel at ease, there is nothing he can do."

"Do you have an idea?" Jia Zheng raised his eyes and looked over. Mrs. Wang's face was a little pale because she was pregnant, and she was over forty years old, after all, she was a little old and faded.

"I think the master and the third master are brothers. If the master's child is adopted by the third master, the ancestors will feel at ease. It's better not to adopt from someone else's family."

Mrs. Wang's words made Jia Zheng stunned. He did say that to Jia's mother before, but it was something to make the old lady happy. He was not very happy to ask his son to call someone else Dad, even if that person was his brother. of.

"Does Madam want to adopt the child in her womb to the third brother?"

"Of course it's not my child. Even if the master and I are willing, the third master and the third younger siblings are also unwilling. However, if the Zhao family and the Zhou family give birth to a child in the future and adopt it to the third master, I think the old ancestor will be very happy."

Mrs. Wang kept paying attention to Jia Zheng's face while she was talking. After she finished speaking, she felt relieved when she saw that he was not unhappy. She went over and poured another cup of tea for Jia Zheng. Mrs. Zhou is in the prime of life, and I think she will give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future."

In the ancient times when the system of concubine and concubine was strict, even if the concubine was favored again, his status would not be as good as that of the concubine. Jia Zheng suddenly felt that this was also a solution.

Firstly, it can make the old lady happy, and secondly, his concubine became Jiang Yan's first-in-law, so the status is different, and even if he is adopted under Jiang Yan's name, he will still be the child's biological father. Family love is constantly cut.

And the child was adopted under Jiang Yan's name, let alone Sanfang's property, just say that according to Jiang Yan's ability, he will definitely be able to train the child to be a pillar, and maybe he will go to the battlefield to make military exploits like him.

Jiang Yan was talking with Jiamu beside her, completely unaware that someone was planning to adopt the child under his name, planning to ask him to help raise the child.

He had just arrived at Jia Mu's room, and Jia Mu was talking about the child's problem, but Jiang Yan changed the subject without saying a word, talking about the scenery of Jinling, about meeting Gusu on the way back, going to Lin's house see the situation.

The Lin family, Lin Jin, is 13 years old and is ready to take the exam next year.

"13 years old is a bit younger. Lin Ruhai seemed to be a scholar who was admitted at the age of 15. If Jin'er can pass the exam next year, it will surpass his father." Mother Jia still hopes that Lin Jin can pass the exam, after all It's her grandson, I've met him a few times before, he looks like his father.

"Ruhai said that Jin'er has outstanding talents and studies, so she must be able to pass the exam." Jiang Yan also has confidence in Lin Jin's talents and studies. "There is another thing to tell mother. Mother first guess what it is?"

Seeing Jiang Yan so happy, Mother Jia thought it must be a good thing, "Could it be that there is some good news from Min'er?"

"Mother is very predictable, and Min'er is pregnant again. After calculation, it should be around the beginning of spring next year."

Mrs. Wang and Jia Min are pregnant at the same time now, but Mrs. Wang is about to give birth, and Jia Min has just been pregnant for less than a month. Counting their birthdays, they should give birth to Baoyu and Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have been wearing the jade ornaments he gave them all these years. Except for the Bingdilian in the year they got married, there are also jade pendants and finger bracelets one after another. Without exception, they are all sealed inside. Protect your health.

They became stronger and stronger, but they never got pregnant again, until this time he went back to Jinling and passed through Gusu, went to see Jia Min, and found out that she was pregnant.

Jia Min is over [-] years old, and she is already an advanced maternal age, so the matter on Jiang Yan's side must be resolved a month or two before her delivery, and he has to watch the situation in person to be at ease.

Jia's mother was very happy when she heard that Jia Min was pregnant. The Lin family had few heirs and not many offspring. Jia Min only gave birth to one son in these years, which made her worry a lot. Now that she is pregnant again, she is very happy.

Hastily asked people to prepare things, and sent Jia Min the recipes and recipes that she had treasured for many years and used by pregnant women.

"In the spring of next year, when Min'er gave birth to a child and Jin'er was admitted to the scholar, that would be a double blessing, and then we should have a good celebration." Mother Jia said thinking about the situation.

Among her four daughters, she likes Min'er the most, and she is also the one who married the farthest. She only came back three times in 14 years of marriage, and they all came and went in a hurry. As a mother, she can only wish here Everything was going well with her, and there was nothing else she could do.

In the past ten years, Jiang Yan basically came back every two or three years, and stayed for two or three months at a time. Sometimes Fu Ling stayed with him and sometimes not. The main purpose of his coming back was to check the health of the Jia family.

His main test targets were Jia Mu and Jia Zhu, and he didn't need to worry about the others.

Jia Zhu has been studying hard these years, and has outstanding knowledge. Jia Zheng often praises him. You must know that Jia Zheng was aspiring to take the imperial examination back then, but because Jia Daishan went to the emperor to ask for grace, he was appointed an official.

The knowledge praised by Jia Zheng would not be too difficult to take the imperial examination. If he is in good health and can support Jia Zheng in his official career, he will not be afraid that Jia Baoyu will be less educated in the future.

Even if Jia Zhu is unable to turn the tide, at least he can delay the decline of the Jia family, so that the Jia family will not be so bleak in the end.

As for Jia's mother, that's just what he should do as a son. At the beginning, Jia Daishan was exhausted and unable to recover. Jia's mother's health will still be able to reduce the pain of old age.

The next day, Jiang Yan and Fu Ling went to Fu's house together with presents brought to Yue's house. Just like before, it was Fu Ling who went to the backyard, and Jiang Yan chatted with the old man Fu Song and the uncles of Fu Bai's family in front.

After the meal, Jiang Yan and Fu Ling went to see the old man and wife of the Fu family together. They were both over seventy years old, but their bodies were still in good health. It's just that the old man usually likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be with the younger generation.

"Grandfather, I came back this time because I heard some news outside, so I came back in such a hurry, and wanted to explain to my grandfather." After paying his respects, Fu Ling came behind Old Master Fu and said while beating his back.

"What made you come back from Jinling all the way?" Old Master Fu asked.

Fu Ling's expression became serious, and he whispered in Old Master Fu's ear, "Everything I said is true, grandpa should call Second Uncle over to ask, if it's a misunderstanding, I'll be at ease."

"What you said is true? You can't joke about this kind of thing?" Mrs. Fu's expression also became serious. Offending the name of the late emperor is a crime of disrespect. If it is pursued, it will be punished by literature.

Fu Ling took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it over, "Grandfather, look, this is not the second uncle's handwriting. I bought it at a high price from a person I know well. Could it be that someone forged the second uncle's handwriting and deliberately found it Am I here to extort money?"

"This...isn't this just..." Mrs. Fu looked at the eloquent poem. This poem has no literary talent at all, and it is even nonsense. Roadside peddlers of this kind of doggerel can write thousands of poems a day.

But it happens that the two words in this poem are the same as the name taboo of the first emperor. If it is a poem of praise, it can be justified. poetry.

He raised his voice to call Fu Bai, but Jiang Yan remained silent all the time. This poem was naturally not the one written by Fu Bai, but Fu Ling imitated Fu Bai's handwriting. She practiced this handwriting. For several years, it was almost the same as Fu Bai's handwriting, if not exactly the same.

"Grandfather, don't worry too much. Even if it was written by the second uncle, no one but us will know about it. Even the person I know just told me that the second uncle's literary talent is not good, and did not say anything about it." I haven't found the key point in this poem."

Fu Ling saw Fu Bai coming in, and continued: "I just don't know who was there when the second uncle wrote this poem, but someone saw it."

Mrs. Fu has a brilliant literary talent, and it was only in his later years that others commented that he was not good at raising his children. According to ordinary people's thinking theory, he would have been lost at the end of his life, but he insisted that his children and grandchildren should have their own blessings.

He taught everything that should be taught, and he learned as much as he could. Whether it is good or bad is up to him.

Now seeing this poem that may put their whole family in prison, I instantly feel that my previous resignation was wrong, and that the son does not teach the father's fault, this sentence is indeed correct.

"Father, you called me."

When Fu Bai came in, he saw Mrs. Fu's cold face. He has hated his father since he was a child, and he has been scared for decades. Now when he sees the cold face, he is even more frightened, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

When Mrs. Fu saw his useless appearance, he became very angry. He patted the paper on the table and said in a deep voice, "Come over and have a look. Is this poem written by you?"

Fu Bai dawdled forward, took the poem and read it again, he vaguely remembered it, as if it was written by him, but he couldn't remember when he wrote it.

"This poem is not well written, it stains my father's eyes." Fu Bai was about to tuck the paper into his sleeve as he spoke. His father was talented but he was ignorant, so his poems naturally couldn't catch his father's eyes. .

Seeing that Fu Bai still didn't notice the importance of it, Mrs. Fu angrily took the teacup aside and threw it at him, regardless of his face in front of the juniors.

"Are you going to bury your whole family with you? Take a good look at the words on it. What is your identity? Can you say the name of the first emperor casually?"

Throwing the teacup to his lap, Fu Bai didn't react at first, and then he heard the word "Xiandi", his legs softened instantly and he knelt down. He took out the poem again to read it, and he really saw the words "Xiandi" written in a crooked manner on it. name.

This time he panicked completely, "I didn't, I didn't do it on purpose...Father, save me, save me..."

"If you want me to save you, hurry up and tell me when this poem was written? How many people know?" Old Master Fu calmed down a little and asked.

But now Fu Bai's head is full of mud, he has written so many nonsense poems, he only has some impressions of this poem, as for where he wrote it, he really has no memory.

But how could Mrs. Fu mention this kind of thing so easily, ordering Fu Bai to remember it, and at the same time he burned the poems, so that even if someone sued, there would be no proof. Very difficult.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that this copy was written by Fu Ling himself, so the original copy written by Fu Bai is still there?If he was found out, wouldn't he still be punished?

The one that Mrs. Fu burned was fake, so it doesn't matter whether it is burned or not.

Looking up at Fu Ling, she didn't panic at all. Could it be that he was overthinking, and Fu Ling had other plans for the original version of Fu Bai's poem?

Feeling Jiang Yan's gaze, Fu Ling raised her eyes and blinked at him. Of course, she must be foolproof in everything she does.

The main reason why Fu Bo brought disasters to his family was because of literary inquisition, but it was not because of this poem, but because he was drunk, and when he was drunk, he said this nonsense poem he made, which was heard by many people, and it was convincing As for the physical evidence, it was later searched from home.

Now, with this incident, let Mrs. Fu restrain Fu Bai, then go to his room, find all his poems and burn them, so that the original physical evidence will naturally be destroyed, and as long as he doesn't drink, If you don't recite poems in the middle, there will naturally be nothing left of witnesses.
