Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Probably all men have a decisive and cruel nature in their nature. Perhaps Jia She was willing to blind his own eyes for Jia Mu's blue eyes and was willing to do anything to win Jia Mu's favor. After choosing to give up Jia Mu completely, Jia She was very sad Naturally, he began to think about his mother.

As the son of an upper-class aristocrat, Jia Amnesty may not have outstanding talents. In front of the old fritters and foxes who are struggling in the officialdom, he appears to be jerky and lacking in scheming, but this does not mean that his understanding of the officialdom less than others.In fact, no matter what the situation is, the environment always has a huge influence on a person.

Children who grew up in a scholarly family, even if their talents are not high and cannot write good articles, their ability to judge and appreciate will definitely be higher than ordinary people.Children raised by wealthy parents may not have outstanding ability to earn money, but their ability to enjoy life is definitely better than that of poor people.A child like Jia She, who grew up in the circle of fame, wealth and power, was born with a much higher understanding of politics than ordinary people.Decades of career as the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan's words and deeds, and Jia Amnesty are enough to know that in the officialdom, either I plot against you or you plot against me. At any time, shameless and unscrupulous methods are always the best way to deal with your enemies.Any oath, any promise, can be broken when necessary, as long as it is beneficial to oneself, any means are acceptable...

Aside from emotions, the education Jia She has received over the years naturally surfaced. Jia She himself never thought that he would be able to deal with Jia's mother so calmly, using Jia Zheng's past mistakes as an excuse to blackmail Jia's mother. Agreeing to separate the family, even swearing a poisonous oath, he agreed decisively-in fact, for men, such things as oaths are just a few fluffy words. In this world, everyone says that gods are good, who has the truth? have you seen it?It is common for men to swear, but Jia She doesn't care.

Obviously, Mother Jia believed in the oath very much. After Jia She made the oath, she looked obviously relieved. Jia She sneered inwardly. She is an innocent woman, but since she is his biological mother, as long as she keeps her promise , then, he will give her the last bit of face and let Jia Zheng go. At least, he will keep his mouth shut and will not reveal a word about Jia Zheng outside. In fact, he still has to mention Jia Zheng in front of outsiders. Zheng, for him, is also a very annoying thing, he would rather never have Jia Zheng in his life.

But obviously, Jia Amnesty's retreat was not noticed by Jia's mother. She thought that Jia Amnesty was willing to swear to back down, and that was the beginning of a compromise with her. She divided the property of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Zheng equally.

Her attitude is so natural, as if this is just the most natural thing.Jia She was enraged immediately, did she really think she was easy to bully? "Mother, think about the current situation of the second brother. You ask me so repeatedly, my son, I have to think about whether I want to keep the previous oath. It's great. Let's invite Brother Jing to come back now and talk about it." After giving Jiamu an ultimatum, Jia Amnesty couldn't bear it anymore and asked Jiamu, "Isn't mother the most fond of my second brother? Don't you understand that in the current situation, as long as you still care about your second brother, you have no leverage to follow me?" Negotiating terms."

Jia's mother sat down on the chair, looking at Jia She as if looking at an enemy of several generations: "You rebellious son, why did I give birth to you."

It was not the first time for Jia Amnesty to hear Jia's mother say this, and she was completely numb.Strange to say, in the past many years, he has been depressed because of Jia Mu's words many times, but now he let go, and when he heard these words, apart from a sneer, there was no slight ripple in his heart, but he finally had the opportunity to say it. I have buried the words in my heart for many years: "Mother naturally hopes that she has never given birth. In fact, mother only needs to have a second brother. Even the third sister is dispensable in front of the second brother, isn't it?" ? As for me, the eldest son who stands in the way of my second younger brother's future, you just hope that I never existed?"

Mother Jia's face was distorted.

Jia Amnesty didn't have the patience to continue entangled with Jia's mother, so he raised his eyebrows impatiently and said to Jia Zheng, "Brother Jing and the elders of the clan are waiting, second brother, let's go?"

The general situation was over, and Jia Zheng knew that today he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn over again. He clenched his fists tightly, and he barely supported his legs, which were as heavy as gold, and slowly moved forward step by step.

Jia She looked at him with such a sneer, and snorted coldly, "I still remember the proud and upright demeanor of my second younger brother before the imperial examination. Why is it like this now?" Then he said with a dazed expression, "Yes. Oh, I forgot, isn’t this what you have brought on yourself?” He laughed and looked at him coldly, “Mother favored you to deal with me wholeheartedly, unfortunately, in the end, all the retribution was on you, look, now God also I won’t help you.” The laughter became more cheerful and flamboyant, and he strode towards the front hall.

Jia Zheng stood there for a long time, his hands clenched too tightly, his knuckles turned white and his veins exposed, staring at Jia She's back, taking deep breaths over and over again, trying to control himself not to jump up and fight with Jia She.

It's okay, it's okay, the days to come are still long, he doesn't believe it, he will never be better than Jia She!

Today's shame, he will never forget it!

Faced with an ugly smile on Jia's mother, Jia Zheng bowed his head to apologize to Jia's mother: "My son is at fault, and I have disappointed my mother."

No matter how dissatisfied Mother Jia was, what else could she say to such a depressed and sad Jia Zheng?With a long sigh, Mother Jia could only sigh in the end: "You..." The one you are most sorry for is yourself.

Neither the mother nor the son spoke any more, and followed them to the front hall with heavy steps.Now that it is decided to divide the family, how to divide the family is still up for debate.

It's just that they are held such a big handle, what position do they use to fight?Thinking of this, both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng felt bitter in their hearts.

Watching them walk away, Mrs. Zhang came out from behind the screen, and with a smile on her face, asked the servants to serve tea for herself.Wang patted her belly with one hand and walked out. Seeing Zhang's leisurely complacency, she felt very dazzling, and sneered: "Sister-in-law is so happy now, isn't she? Why don't you set up a table of wine to celebrate?!"

Mrs. Zhang squinted at her: "I am no better than you. I dare to do anything while I am still in the heat of filial piety. I still have to keep filial piety for my father. To celebrate, a cup of good tea is enough!" Then he took the girl and brought it up. I used the lid of the teacup to skim off the froth in the cup, took a sip, and sighed comfortably: "Good tea, really good tea, my whole body feels comfortable~"

Wang finally couldn't hold back, clenched the handkerchief tightly in his hand, and said angrily: "Ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, don't be too complacent!"

This time Mrs. Zhang looked at her squarely, and stared straight into her eyes. The cold look in her eyes made Mrs. Wang feel timid. She couldn't help taking a step back, and said tremblingly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mrs. Zhang laughed, with such courage, dare to provoke her like this?Sure enough, I have been virtuous for too long, and everyone regards me as a sick cat.Leaning leisurely on the chair, Mrs. Zhang withdrew her gaze, and said leisurely: "Siblings want to talk harshly to me here, why don't you think about the division of the family before, what should you do with your stomach?" Xing Weiwei asked, "Siblings want to give birth to him?"

Wang's face was instantly pale...

When Jia Zheng and Jia Mu rushed to the front hall, Jia Amnesty was standing in the middle of the room and explaining to the clan elders: "My brother and sister are not pregnant. The doctor misdiagnosed them. Doctor Du went to check the pulse and found out that my brother and sister were not feeling well. , Now that the medicine has been prescribed, everything is fine. The servants are ignorant and talk nonsense, disturbing the elders, I am really ashamed."

Jia Daixiu, Jia Dairu and other old people have lived most of their lives. Who is not a person who is experienced. Just looking at Jia Jing who came back angrily, he knows that things are not as simple as Jia She said. It's just that Jia Jing doesn't speak, Jia She It was explained in this way again that these two people represent the two richest and most glorious branches of the Jia clan—Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. Can pretend to be confused.

Jia Daixiu said: "It's not uncommon for servants to be ignorant. I think the reporter in front is only eleven or twelve years old, right? You have to pay attention to training these boys. It's fine in front of us today. It would be bad if it was like this in front of foreigners."

Jia Amnesty accepted it humbly, and said ashamedly: "What uncle said is that I was negligent, and I will definitely discipline these servants strictly in the future, and today's incident will never happen again."

As the gossip has been said, it is a serious matter of family separation.

Jia Dairu watched Jia She pull out the fish scale book to count the property in detail, making it clear that the family would be separated, but Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, didn't say a word. He became more and more suspicious of Jia She's first explanation, and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law and Cun Zhou?" What do you think? Enhou wants to separate, and sister-in-law agrees now?"

Jia's mother was not flustered, but sighed helplessly, and said: "The children are old enough to start a family and start a business, and the children have gone to school. If they have to separate, what can I do as an old woman? Husband dies and obeys the son, I don't care. Do you have to listen to your son?"

That's what I said, but when did you care about the phrase "a husband dies and obeys a son"?

Jia Daixiu bumped Jia Dairu with his elbow, and Jia Dairu wanted to stab Jiamu a few words, but he swallowed it when he saw that her face was not looking well.Don't mind your own business, don't mind your own business, you should be less troublesome.

The account books had been counted long ago, and since Jia She had thought about separating the family, he ordered the accountant to start counting the Rongguo Mansion's assets.Originally, he had already figured out what to distribute to Jia Zheng, and it would be over after going through it in front of everyone, but at that time he was still thinking that he would be so polite because he wanted to save the last bit of face between mother and child. Things, the situation has changed now, after Mother Jia was so cruel that he wanted him to swear on his wife and children, Jia She was resentful, but he didn't intend to be so stupid anymore, and split up the family with Jia Zheng, so he had to re-arrange.

"My elders, respect for my elder brother's testimony. Now all the property records of Rongguo Mansion are here." Jia Amnesty pointed to the three piles of account books on the ground and said, "The part on the left is given to Rong by Taizu. According to the regulations, the meritorious fields of the Guofu, the mansion built by the Rongguo Mansion, and the gifts from the imperial court are inherited by the successors of the Rongguo Mansion, so I will accept them without hesitation, what do you think?"

No one said anything bad, these things can be said to be ancestral property, so naturally they should be inherited by the eldest son and grandson, the whole world is like this, there is nothing wrong with it.Jia's mother and Jia Zheng didn't fight. Even if they wanted to fight for these things, the court would not allow it.

Jia She then pointed to a pile of obviously smaller account books in the middle, and said, "These are the belongings that my grandfather and father bought when they conquered the world. Many of them were ordered to be heirlooms and passed down from generation to generation. It will be inherited by the eldest son who inherits the title, and the uncles should still remember, so they checked the account books, and these are also inherited by me."

Jia Amnesty's unceremonious division, Jia Zheng's face turned livid, and Jia's mother disagreed: "Your father only said that it was to be passed down as a family heirloom to future generations, and it should not be sold easily. After all, it can only be inherited by the eldest son." Boss, don’t talk nonsense!” Although these things are few, they are the most valuable items in the Rongguo Mansion. It can be said that they are invaluable. How could Jia’s mother watch Jia She swallow them all?No matter what, you have to give Jia Zheng half, no, [-]%, at least [-]%!

Jia Sheli said bluntly: "This family heirloom is naturally passed on to the first branch and the first line. The second younger brother separated the family. Are these family heirlooms going to follow?" Bangzhi, when he has a child, it will become even more like a side branch. Are these rare treasures going to be passed on to Bangzhi?

This situation is not uncommon today. In a big family, the direct branch inherits the best property of the family, and the branch that is divided can only get part of the property. Jia Amnesty obviously didn't want to make Jia's mother and Jia Zheng feel comfortable, and deliberately made things difficult for them.

Sure enough, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were very anxious. Jia's mother pulled her face to Jia Daixiu and others and cried: "They are all the children of the master. My flesh and blood, what are the direct and off-line branches? If the master is alive, he will not be among his own sons." It must be fair to divide these.”

What Jia Mu said is actually correct, saying that the family heirloom has been passed down from generation to generation is just a casual remark of the old Duke and Jia Daishan, and it cannot be true. If Jia Daishan is alive, when dividing the family property, it must be fair to the two sons .Unfortunately, Jia Daishan has passed away now.

"I think Enhou's words are right." Jia Jing didn't care about Jia Mu's angry eyes, and said in agreement, "These items are treasures that uncles and uncles worked hard for, and naturally they must be handed over to the last one. Enhou who has the right to inherit will inherit it, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, inheriting the lintel of Rongguo Mansion." After Jia Zheng is separated, he will no longer be able to represent the face of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Amnesty's descendants will inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion from generation to generation. Until the title is decremented and taken back.

Jia Jing opened his mouth, and all the clan elders had no objection. Jia Mu's objection was ignored by everyone. Jia Amnesty asked people to put away the pile of account books, pointed to the remaining pile and said: "Father was very careful when he was alive. Concerned about the affairs of the family, now that the Jia family in Beijing is prosperous, the houses in the back streets are somewhat insufficient, and the ethnology should also be repaired. In this way, I will donate 1 taels of silver to the family, which is good Repair the house for the clan, and invite a good gentleman for the children."

This is a good thing, and the clan elders themselves will benefit, so naturally they will not object.Jia Mu heard that 1 taels of silver was like cutting flesh, her face was full of displeasure, and she could only suppress her anger.

Jia She said: "Apart from these, I will share the rest with my second brother. According to the regulations, I am the eldest son, and I will honor my mother in the future. I will share [-]% of all the property..."

Before she finished speaking, Jia's mother screamed: "You have lost your conscience, you have a dark heart!"

Jia Jing's face was dark: "Auntie respects herself. If you continue to behave like this, I have to ask you to avoid it." According to the etiquette, women are not allowed to participate in the clan meeting. The family ordered the highest-ranking talents to be accommodating, but Jia's mother relied on the old to sell the old, and Jia Jing couldn't help it, not to mention that Jia Amnesty was full of dissatisfaction and contempt for Jia Zheng now, and he was lazy at all for him. Competing for benefits, the more Jia's mother favors Jia Zheng, the more unhappy Jia Jing will be.

Such an unfilial person, if not for the close relationship between Ningrong and Rongfu, and Jia She entrusted him, he would never cover up the scandal for him. Now it is good, he still has the face to fight for property?How could my uncle be able to have such a son in his life of scheming and scheming? !

Jia's mother was so angry that she couldn't care about Jia Jing anymore, and she yelled at Jia She: "You have gained so much, and you still have to count your brother. If you divide it like this, you might as well just kick your brother out of the house. Damn it." If you want to kill something that hurts your heart, you will save me from seeing such a horrible thing."

Jia She's face was full of innocence: "Mother has wronged me. According to the system, the eldest son should get more. Besides, the son still has to support you."

Jia Mu blurted out, "Who wants you to take care of me?"

There was a flash of light in Jia She's eyes, and his face turned cold: "What did mother say?"

Jia's mother knew that she was wrong when she said that, not to mention that Jia She was the eldest son, but her status as the first-rank imperial order of the Duke's wife also destined her to stay in Rongguo Mansion and be cared for by Jia She. Li Du had to come to ask the reason, when Jia Amnesty reprimanded him badly, he himself had to be punished for breaking etiquette.

Jia Jing couldn't bear it any longer, and issued an ultimatum to him: "Auntie, please don't argue any more. There are precedents to follow in the division of family rules. Enhou's request is not too much." He glanced at Jia Zheng, " Besides, Cunzhou, he can get these, it is already good, as a human being, it is better not to be too greedy." He didn't give Jia Zheng any face.

Both Jia Zheng and Jia Mu's faces were flushed red with embarrassment, but their hearts were shaking. They almost forgot that Jia Jing was also the one who knew that Wang Shi was pregnant. If he really angered him, he would say it...

With scruples in mind, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng could only watch as Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing negotiated, and divided the last remaining bit of property according to the ratio of seven to three, compared with the piles of Jia Amnesty's last obtained. The tall account books representing property, Jia Zheng's side, seem pitifully few, but Jia's mother and Jia Zheng can't say anything, can't complain about anything, looking at Jia Jing's meaningful eyes, they still to make a laugh...

It was getting late, and the rest of the details will be discussed by Jia Jing, Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty and others at another day. Jia Dairu, Jia Daixiu and others left first. Before Jia Jing left, he went to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng for a walk. , Just dropped a sentence: "My brother and sister's belly, please auntie to plan early." After speaking, he walked away, not listening to Jia's mother Jia Zheng's judgment.

Jia Amnesty sneered at the side, and Jia Mu Jia Zheng's face fell even more.

Wang's stomach...
