Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 39

There are quite a few students who have done well in policy theory, but did Emperor Longxi confer titles on those students?

"Apart from this, is there no other reason?" Jia Shishi naturally would not be satisfied with Yarlin's answer, and continued to ask in a serious tone.

"Ah!" Ya'erlin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then punched his left hand on the palm of his right hand, and suddenly realized, "Is it because of this reason that the sage asked me to introduce him to him, the shopkeeper of the rented shop?"

Hearing this, Jia Shi frowned slightly.This answer still sounds unconvincing at first glance, but if you think about it, it is not impossible.The old lady in the back house also knew how much attention the two shops on Baihu Street attracted, and she knew even more how closely guarded the two shops were.

If the royal family got in touch with the shopkeeper, or even the people behind the shopkeeper, because of Jia Zhu's connection, it would not be impossible to reward Jia Zhu with a title.When Chu Chu heard Dai Quan's decree, she was just astonished, but when she calmed down and thought about it later, she felt that it was nothing.

The father-in-law of the Daqing Dynasty was either "the Duke of a certain country", or the "Cheng En Gong" of the empress's father and brother, or the "Yansheng Gong" of Shandong, whose symbolic meaning was more than practical.The duke Jia Zhu, whose title is "True Sage", naturally cannot be compared with the Duke of the Kingdom in the early days of the founding of the dynasty, but is not much different from the "Duke Yansheng" in Shandong.

It's just symbolic.

But for the gradually declining Jia family, even if it is just a symbolic "true Holy Duke", it is a big help!

Thinking of this, Jia Shishi's stern face relaxed, and he showed a kind smile to Ya'erlin: "Zhu'er has been accompanying you in the Hall of Mental Cultivation today, so she must be tired! Yuanyang, why don't you hurry up and give it to the uncle?" Take a seat and bring a bowl of hot tea."

Regarding Jia Shishi's completely different attitudes before and after, Yaerlin just smiled from the bottom of his heart, and then stepped back and sat next to Mrs. Wang.As for the tea brought by the maid, he just brought it to his lips and sipped it.Today he has already drank a full stomach of tea in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so he doesn't care if he doesn't drink the tea from Rongqingtang.

"Pearl, I heard from Manager Dai that the mansion was bestowed by the sage?" After Jia Shi knew the reason why Jia Zhu was named Duke, he began to think about the next step.The best thing, of course, is to let Jia Zhu stay in the Rongguo Mansion.In this way, this grandson will not completely escape from his control.

More importantly, if Jia Zhu wants to move to Zhenshenggong Mansion, will he move out with his wife and son, or the second bedroom and the whole family will move out.If the second bedroom and the whole family moved out, the Rongguo Mansion would naturally be dominated by the eldest.Without the second wife, Jia Shishi was not able to completely suppress the confidence of the first wife with just filial piety.

"Yes." Ya'erlin nodded, "In the Hall of Mental Cultivation today, the sage said that he has ordered Qin Tian to monitor the days. When the time comes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will tidy up the mansion and let us move in together."

"The sage asked you to move all the rooms!" Jia Shishi raised his voice, clasped his hands full of age spots and wrinkles, and his veins were exposed.

Ya'erlin smiled embarrassedly: "The sage said that it's fine if our second wife didn't have a title or an imperial mansion before, but now that my grandson has a title, I can't live in this mansion anymore."

"Then just move out with your wife and Lan'er, why bother to move out all of you." Jia Shishi turned his face sternly again.

"The grandson and the sage also said the same thing." Yaerlin sighed helplessly, and then said with a wry smile, "but the sage said that the Rongguo Mansion should have been in charge of the uncle, the eldest son of Xijue. Before the old lady was still there, The old lady prefers the younger son, which is also human nature, so the saint didn't say anything. But now that the grandson has a title, father and mother should be taken care of by the grandson."

As soon as his words fell, the entire Rongqing Hall fell into a silence where everyone's breathing could be clearly heard.Jia Sheyi's uncontrollable excitement, Jia Zheng's embarrassment, and Jia Shishi's anger all could not escape Ya'erlin's eyes.

Even if the sage didn't say what he said, it doesn't matter. Could it be that they can still ask the sage?If someone had the courage to ask the saint, Yaerlin also believed that Emperor Longxi would definitely follow his words.

The succession of the eldest son is the ancestral precept left by Qing Tai/Zu.Even the royal family must strictly enforce it, not to mention their noble families.If it weren't for this ancestral precept, Tu Ze wouldn't have been the prince for so long.

Jia Shishi's complexion changed several times, and finally after a long sigh, he said dejectedly: "Since the sage has said so, when the time comes, Zheng'er and Yifang will move to Zhenshenggong's mansion with Zhu'er. "

The saints have said so, the old lady dare not commit crimes against the wind.It's not that she didn't know that some of her arrangements after Jia Daishan's death were wrong, but she always felt that it was her own family business and no one else had the right to interfere.Hearing Ya'erlin's words, she realized that it's not that the saint doesn't know about the Rongguo Mansion, and it's not that he has no dissatisfaction at all.It's just that the sage doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. Once she takes care of it, it's not something she can compete with.

"Old lady, my son and wife will stay here to serve you." Jia Zheng has not yet made a decision between being the master of the Rongguo Mansion and the old man of the True Shenggong Mansion, but he has been habitually pleasing the old lady for so many years, so he said smoothly Such a sentence came out.

Jia Shishi waved his hand: "The sages are all concerned about this matter, so there is no room for us to bargain." Then he turned his head to look at Jia She, who was sitting on the left, and said with a rare kindness, "Boss, since your brother and his family are going to move If you go out, you might as well divide the family. Although it is a mansion bestowed by the imperial court, you still have to buy things yourself. Your younger brother only has a small salary, and Zhu Er's annual salary is not much, so you can't rely on your sister-in-law and niece-in-law. dowry."

No matter Jia Zheng is the youngest son she has loved for many years, she has to think more about him.Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for her to say anything and do anything, so it is better to be more straightforward.The saint's position in Jia Shishi's heart is incomparably noble, and she dare not be dissatisfied with the saint's arrangement.

It's just a pity, why did Jia Zhu die without getting sick in the first place!Now he has brought glory to the Jia family, but he has brought a lot of trouble to her old lady.It was a foregone conclusion that Erfang's family would move out, so she naturally had to win over the boss.

Jia Shishi was somewhat comforted by the fact that the boss was greedy and incompetent, at least he was filial to her mother, and she, the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion, would not really become a pensioner in Rongqingtang after she came. An old lady who doesn't care about anything.

When Jia She heard that the sage asked Erfang's family to move out, Jia She was secretly very happy, and what Jia Shi said later surprised him even more.Even if the second room was about to move out, the old lady only saw his son, but she saw it anyway, didn't she?

For so many years, he had no idea about the old lady's partiality, but it was his mother after all. Apart from feeling uncomfortable, what else could he do if he raised a few more concubines in his own courtyard.

"Listen to the old lady's orders." Jia She said respectfully after closing his eyes to calm down his excitement.

Seeing Jia Amnesty's obedience, Jia Shishi nodded in satisfaction: "Accordingly, except for the property inherited by the person who should inherit the title and the imperial gift, your brother should only get [-]% of the other property. But the situation is slightly different now. Your brother It’s also the duke’s mansion that’s moving out, and I need a lot of money to settle in, so why don’t you share a little more with your brother?”

Jia She's eyes darkened for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Just do what the old lady said. My second child and I are blood brothers, so we don't need to worry too much about these yellow and white things."

Rongguo Mansion has been the housekeeper of the second family for so many years. He buys antique concubines, and the second child keeps clean customers all the year round. The income of the mansion is only so much, and he almost knows how much property there is.Anyway, he has the property left by his grandmother, Mrs. Jia Yuan, which is not far behind the mansion.Compared with some property, he was more happy to be able to truly be the master of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Okay!" The smile on Jia Shishi's face deepened, "Then give [-]% to your brother."

Jia She nodded indifferently, but Jia Zheng stood up anxiously: "Old lady, no! I am the second son, how can I share so much!"

If it was Mrs. Wang in the past, she would definitely be very anxious about Jia Zheng's words.This man doesn't know that Chai Mi is expensive, he only knows that if he has no money, he can go to the accountant to get it. According to his way of spending, the salary he earns is not enough for ten days, let alone one month!

Fortunately, her son can earn money, so it's not short of such a little money for his father.

But both of them moved out, which has advantages and disadvantages.

She and Jia Zheng were going to move out with Jia Zhu, and Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu couldn't stay either.Now that the family is separated, although the old lady's status is still different, at least she can't come to their house to dictate at any time.With Jia Zhu, the duke's elder brother, Jia Yuanchun would no longer be able to take part in the contest for Na Laoshi's concubine. Isn't this a disgrace to the Shenggong Mansion.

In this way, Jia Yuanchun's marriage can be decided by her, the mother.

There is also Jia Baoyu who has been raised by the old lady.For this youngest son, Mrs. Wang naturally loves it, but the old lady still let him have some minor problems, so she can't directly accuse the old lady.Now that he has moved out, Jia Baoyu will naturally be brought up by her.

Mrs. Wang knew that she was not good at reading and writing, but under her upbringing, Jia Zhu was not only praised, but now she has become a real saint.Jia Baoyu followed her, not daring to say that he could be as successful as his elder brother, but at least he wouldn't really become a drunk and lustful person as Jia Zheng said.

Mrs. Wang was thinking about how to deal with Jia Baoyu's love of flowers and lust after she moved out, but she didn't pay attention to Jia Shishi and Jia She and Jia Zheng's mother, loving son, filial brother, brother and friend.

Three days later, under the witness of Jia Zhen, the patriarch of the Jia family, and other elders, the two households in Rongguo Mansion officially separated.The big house gets [-]% of the property, and the second house gets [-]%.

The separation of the family went very smoothly, even if there was a little episode, it was not a big deal.It's just that Jia Amnesty was surprised that there were so many silver and antique calligraphy and painting decorations in the officials' warehouses.I didn't expect that the second son's family has been in charge for so many years, and he hasn't greedy for anything, leaving behind so many belongings, which is a pleasant surprise.
