Jia Zheng knew what Mrs. Wang meant, that a noble house is expensive, but it is also true.Those families are often ashamed of talking about money, and often the family has not been separated for several generations. The food and clothing of a large family cannot be exchanged for anyone who cares.To marry such a daughter-in-law, the dowry is really impossible to be so generous.
But what Mrs. Wang doesn't know is that those families have deep backgrounds and wide connections, which are what the Jia family needs now: "I have told you that Zhu'er will follow the clean line in the future. Besides, Zhuer If you live up to your expectations, how can you live on your daughter-in-law's dowry?"
Mrs. Wang also became angry: "Pearl has never suffered since she was a child? Just because she married a daughter-in-law from a scholar's family, she can't do anything!"
Jia Zheng nodded with a sneer: "It turns out that you followed me and let you eat chaff. You are really wronged."
Mrs. Wang woke up suddenly, only to realize that she spoke in a hurry.Originally, Jia Zheng also wanted to be born in the imperial examination, but it was because the Duke of the State had passed the imperial examination, so he didn't go to the imperial examination.Now I have good friends with Jia Zheng, and they are all scholars. When I said this, I clearly disliked Jia Zheng: It’s not that Jia Zheng never used Mrs. Wang’s dowry, but since he got angry with her, he never I didn't ask her for a penny anymore, instead I gave my income from the Ministry of Industry to Mrs. Wang's family from time to time.
That's why the master said, let yourself eat bran and swallow vegetables?We must know that the money Jia Zheng took back may not seem like a lot at a time, but the number of times is still quite a lot, which is enough for the daily expenses of the entire west courtyard.And because the family has not been separated yet, the food and food in the west courtyard are all from the public house, and Mrs. Wang has already saved a lot of money.
Even Mrs. Wang, who is used to seeing a lot of money in and out, can't say that the sum of money in her hand is only enough to eat chaff.Therefore, Mrs. Wang, who had been sneered by Jia Zheng, could no longer utter a word: the master was indifferent to her because of what happened last year.Now I don't know how many days of lying down and doing small things to win back his heart.
When Jia's mother saw that Mrs. Wang had been extinguished by Jia Zheng, she knew that her youngest son's mind had been made up.She had known for a long time that she would not be able to resist, so she nodded: "Zhuer is like this, so is Yuanchun?"
Of course it had to be so, but Jia Zheng knew that the so-called old relatives of the Jia family would not end well when the new emperor came to the throne.If you find an in-law by yourself, and still pick and choose from these people, wouldn't you be making yourself uncomfortable?
So Jia Zheng bowed his hands to the old lady and said, "The old lady is still wise. It's not easy to move around and embarrass Yuan Chun."
Jia's mother stopped talking, and Mrs. Wang dared not say anything.Fortunately, someone announced loudly outside: "Old lady, the gift-giving mothers in the East Mansion are here."
This one still needs to be seen, and it also reminds everyone that there may be someone who is well-informed, and they will also come to congratulate.So Jia's mother took Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to see the mother-in-law of Ningguo Mansion, and let Jia Amnesty and his brothers go to the front yard to prepare for people to come.
Fortunately, Jia and Zhu are just a small scholar, which is considered a big event in the General's Mansion and even the entire Jia clan, but it is nothing more than a small disturbance in the family of the people they are in contact with: they are just like the General's Mansion. No matter how sad the Xungui family was, they still felt that he was just a scholar, and it was still too early for him to be a Jinshi.The family of scholars who interacted with Jia Zheng also felt that being a scholar was just a common thing.
So many people came to celebrate one after another, but after careful calculation, they were only a little busier than usual.Those servants got rewards for two months, and it was time to show their enthusiasm to the master, and they wished for a few more talents.
However, the Ministry of Industry where Jia Zheng worked, from Tang Shangshu to the small officials who followed Jia Zheng also knew about this, and congratulated him face to face.Jia Zheng thanked him humbly, saying that it was just a fluke for a child to test the waters, and he should not be praised by you.It makes people feel that Jia Zheng is a humble man, not that he wants to be known to everyone if there is a little thing.
Not to mention Jia Zheng's efforts to build his reputation among the Ministry of Industry and scholars, the days are passing by like this, and the time has come for Jia Amnesty to return the money to the treasury again.Knowing that he might become the target of public criticism, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Households to go through this experience.
Not surprisingly, the news of Jia's amnesty to return the money spread across the ministries in an instant, and the people from the Ministry of Industry looked at Jia Zheng strangely again.What can Jia Zheng do?Just look at it if you want, he knows that they are people from the Ministry of Industry, and there are not a few people who owe money in the treasury. I am as light as dust.People now find that your family has to rush to pay back the money, why not let people see it?
First Mu Tangguan, and then Tang Shangshu, both approached Jia Zheng, wanting to know what Jia Amnesty had done, and whether Jia Zheng knew about it or not.Jia Zheng answered unequivocally that he knew that this was his father's will, and his brothers naturally could not disobey it.
He spoke with a strong voice, but everyone who listened frowned.I know that this person is a bit circuitous in reading, but I don't see him being so circuitous when doing business on weekdays.Since you brothers all know about it, why don't you know how to work around it and keep the matter of repaying the money low-key?It's good now, suddenly there is such an outlier in my department, he is not at ease, and it is also awkward for others to see.
So Tang Shangshu told Mu Tangguan to let Jia Zheng go home to rest for a few days, and then notify him to go to the Yamen after the limelight passes.Tangguan Mu already had such a plan, but he knew that there were already several people who were ready to trip Jia Zheng's envoy.It's not that he has a good relationship with Jia Zheng, it can only be said that at any time, a boss needs someone who can work and know how to work. A subordinate like Jia Zheng who doesn't fight for credit, doesn't blame his mistakes, and handles everything properly, Mu Tang The official is still willing to form a good relationship with him.
Jia Zheng, who was notified by Tangguan Mu, was still a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, and gave a deep salute to Tangguan Mu: "Thank you for your love, sir." Not only did he not complain at all, but he also felt his own deep meaning, and he did not hide Tang Shangshu, with a smile on his face: "It's not just me, Master Shangshu loves you too."
Jia Zhengdao: "It's always because your lord speaks kindly in front of Mr. Shangshu. It's not convenient for Zheng to see Mr. Shangshu now, so I ask you to thank Mr. Shangshu for your kindness. I just don't know who will take over the errand of Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Zheng should make a handover." good."
Mu Tangguan was originally satisfied with Jia Zheng's [-] points, but it has risen to [-] points: people who still think about business at this time, don't complain, and don't leave the mess to let newcomers figure it out by themselves are really rare.If this person has a chance in the future, he still wants to win him over.
After the handover of Jia and Zheng was completed, and both parties signed their signatures under the witness of Tangguan Mu, it was time for the daily office to go down.When I got home, I saw that Jia Amnesty was circling in the study outside.Jia Zheng bowed to him, and was asked, "Is there anyone in the Ministry of Industry who makes things difficult for you?"
Jia Zheng had no choice but to shake his head: "It's too difficult, but I'm just letting me rest at home for a few days. Where's your brother in the military department?"
Jia Amnesty was already a little angry: "Is it embarrassing for you to rest at home? I, oh, I was like that in the military department. I didn't have any errands, but now there are fewer people talking. It's just that you Did the Shangguan tell you when to go back?"
Jia Zheng said no, and Jia Amnesty became even more angry.It's just that he is only a third rank, and has no practical errands, and can't do anything except get angry.I was about to complain, but I was afraid that if the impenetrable Jin Yiwei was lying on his stomach somewhere in his home at this time, wouldn't the present know what he said?I had no choice but to continue circling on the ground.
"Brother, you don't have to worry. I think Shangguan means love and protection. You think, if I go to the office every day, I have to take on errands. If someone trips me and makes a mistake, it will be difficult to recover. Also Why don't you just stay at home for a few days, and then you can calm down and study." Jia Zheng persuaded Jia She.
Jia Amnesty heard this and asked, "Does that mean I won't go to the yamen tomorrow?"
Jia Zheng laughed: "My brother is different from me. You don't have any specific errands in the Ministry of War, and you are not afraid of tricks. What's more, if my brothers stay behind closed doors, it will make people think we are guilty. It's just that we follow the example of our father. Acting according to the will, what is owed by the treasury is to pay back the money owed by the treasury. It is only right and proper for us to pay back the debt. What is there to be guilty of? Those who do not pay back the money should be guilty!"
"Wow!" Jia Amnesty clapped his hands together: "It's what you said, why should we be guilty. Tomorrow I will openly go to the Yamen to see who dares to speak against me to my face."
Jia Zheng naturally agreed.At this time, the General's Mansion must stand up for someone to show that he is doing the right thing.That's what happened.However, it was inappropriate for Jia Zheng to do this. Firstly, the head of the family was Jia Amnesty, and secondly, Jia Zheng assumed the name of a scholar, so it was not easy to get angry with others.But Jia Amnesty is different, he has long been known as a gangster, and ordinary people really don't want to confront him head-on: it's normal for you to win a gangster; but if you lose, it's fun big.
Knowing that this is the result, it is still unsatisfactory: After all, it can be regarded as a matter of sharing the worries of the royal family, but it is not pleasant to be roasted on the fire.
"Our family's foundation is still too shallow." Jia She sighed to himself.
Jia Zheng continued: "Exactly. But after this incident, the people who can still associate with us are worthy of association. It can be regarded as knowing people's hearts, and it is not a loss." Not only is it not a loss, but the hidden dangers have been eliminated in advance. He still has a lot of goodwill in front of the next emperor who doesn't know where he is lying!It's just that it's not easy to say it in front of Jia She.
Jia She laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid our good nephew won't come to our door again."
It was about Jia Zhen. After knowing that Jia Zhu and Jia Zhu had won the prize of scholar, she walked around very diligently. She also thought about letting Jia Rong study with Jia Zhu and Jia Zhu in the future.
Jia Zheng also joked: "I can't say that Brother Rong has to go to homeschool again."
Just as their brothers thought, the General’s Mansion fell silent again. Those old relatives who watched the Jia She brothers become intimate with the Jia family again after they got their real jobs, now all want to kill this family: borrow the treasury The ones with the most money can be said to be those families of honorable background.
It has reached such a point, why do you still talk to Brother Jia She?Go dreaming.Jia Zhen came here once, complaining that Jia She and the others shouldn't have returned the treasury money so hastily, and now the Jia family has become the target of everyone's complaints and ridicule.
"Everyone?" Jia She was already holding back his anger, and now someone came to the door: "Which one is everyone, Zhen'er might as well point it out to open my eyes! I can also ask the sage about debts." Paying back the money, I paid the money owed according to the father's will, why did everyone shout and fight? Could it be that it is right not to pay back the money owed, and it is wrong for me to pay back the money?"
How dare Jia Zhen point out people?Besides, there is no way to point it out, if Jia She really asked the saint, he has a reputation of being unstingy, and he is not afraid to cross-examine him face to face.But others dare to say that he is wrong in front of the saint?At that time, why not hate Jia Zhen, the person who pointed them out?
"Uncle, don't worry," Jia Zhen hurriedly reassured Jia She: "It's because my nephew listened to the outsiders' comments, so I came to remind my uncle. Always be careful with uncles. Even in the clan, nephews also need to be careful." Restrain them not to conflict with others these days, and be careful that people will take advantage of it and it will not end well."
Jia Zheng said from the side: "Does Zhen'er feel that my brother has hurt the clan?"
That's what Jia Zhen meant, and she also used words to beat Jia Amnesty, even though you are uncles, but you are still the patriarch.It's just that everyone has always understood these words and would not say them clearly. Now that Jia Zheng asked them face to face, he felt a little uncomfortable answering them.During the Zhengqi Ai period, Jia She thought he had acquiesced.
"If you feel that we are burdening the clan and embarrassing you, the patriarch, it is better to separate our branch. Even if someone wants to blame, it is only directed at us, and there is no need to burden the clan." What is Jia Amnesty? Temper, now Mother Jia has to caress him along his hair, and still see this nephew?Not even the patriarch.
Jia Zheng listened to Jia Amnesty's proposal, and naturally he couldn't be happier. He drew a clear line with the Ningguo Mansion and those members of the clan who only know how to fight autumn, nodded and agreed: "Brother is right, our brothers are for the clan. Trouble, this is just the beginning. I don’t know if those people will do anything. My brother really feels ashamed for bringing down the clan like this. Why don’t we divide our clan so that we can always save it The safety of the tribe."
"Second brother?" Jia Amnesty was a little dumbfounded, he was just angry just now, to scare Jia Zhen, okay?Besides, how could he drag the second child out of the clan like him?
Jia Zheng didn't answer his words, but only used his eyes to signal him to look down at Jia Zhen who was thinking for herself.It was fine for Jia Amnesty not to look at Jia Zhen, but when he saw that Jia Zhen had really thought about Jia Zheng's words, he became even more angry: good, really good.Usually they talk about helping each other, sharing weal and woe, but now when something happens, they want to separate themselves from their family.It is really better not to have such a clansman.
Sensing the silence in the room, Jia Zhen came to her senses and found that both Jia She and brothers were looking at her.He really thought it was a good idea to divide the clan just now, mainly because the two brothers are not doing things for him as the patriarch at all, making the Jia clan a joke in the noble circle, just like Jia. As Zheng said, in the future, I don’t know if they will use other means to rectify this "heterogeneity"!
Jia Zhen didn't think that with the power of the Jia family, she could counteract the resistance of the entire noble family.Not to mention anything else, but the future marriage, who would marry a daughter into such a deadly family, and which family would marry a daughter brought up by such a family?
But on the surface, Jia Zhen still smiled and said to Jia She: "Uncle was joking, why did he talk about branch sects?" The words were so light that the wind would blow them away.
No matter how bad Jia Amnesty was at reading people's hearts, he also noticed Jia Zhen's strangeness under Jia Zheng's reminder. Ask your father." Although my branch is not the head of the clan, the money handed over to the clan is never withheld every year, and even the family school, sacrifice to the fields, and other things that are only the responsibility of the head of the clan have never been shirked. I loathe myself.Let's divide the sect, good morning!
Jia Zhen looked at Jia Zheng again: "The second master still persuades the first master, he can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke, how can he divide people out when there is something wrong with the clan? Then what has become of the Jia family?" , don’t make people laugh.”
He deserved to be laughed at, but Jia Zheng was happy to see it come true: "It's not that the clan wants to separate us, it's just that our brothers can't bear to hurt the clan, so we just asked to split the clan. You can see your father, too." That said, we won't make it hard for you."
Seeing that the two were determined, Jia Zhen pretended to persuade her a few more words, and said she would ask his father to come back in person to persuade the two uncles, so she left and went back to Ningfu.
"It's always because I didn't think clearly that day, which made my brother tired." After Jia Zheng and the others left, they bowed deeply to Jia She.
Jia She also thought about it at this time, and said: "I also agreed that day, why do you do this? Do you think that I, like that snob Jia Zhen, only blame others? It doesn't matter if we split up. How much money was spent to go in, but when something happened, everyone came to blame us. Such a clansman, what do you want him to do."
The two brothers said some heart-to-heart words again, and finally learned that Jia's mother would be there - although she is not interfering in foreign affairs now, she still has to give them the respect they deserve, so as not to let people say that they are not filial.
"How did you say it? Why did it come up with the branch sect?" When Jia Mu heard the news, she couldn't stop crying: "I said that day, don't rush to pay back the money owed, that's what you're guarding against. If you keep it safe, don't listen. It's all right now, isn't it even tolerated in the clan?" Tears rolled down as he spoke.
Jia Amnesty was still a little apprehensive about Jia's mother's tears, knowing that he had a quick temper and spoke poorly, so he just looked at Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng couldn't help it, and stepped forward to persuade: "Don't worry, old lady. I discussed it with my brother just now, and we are sorry for the clan, but when something happened, the clan came forward and blamed us without asking outsiders. Why, our own people come up and step on it first. What kind of tribe is this? The money and food we have given to the tribe these years is no different from that of the leader of the tribe. This is not enough to buy a common advance and retreat. They are afraid that they will accept us. Tired."
Can Mother Jia not know the virtues of her tribe?I don't know how many people come to her to play the autumn wind on weekdays, and she has given up her reputation of pity the old and the poor. Now it's the same as what the second child said, and she didn't wait for outsiders to come, and her own people started to abuse her.
"I only have pity on my Zhu'er and Lian'er, who don't even have a helper." Even though she knows the character of her own clan, the concept of clan still makes Jia's mother not want to divide the clan.
Jia Zheng persuaded: "Old lady, let's see, when my brother and I encountered this incident, is there anyone in the clan who stands up for us? It's not that my brother and I comfort each other. The same is true for Zhu'er and Lian'er. They The brothers grew up together, took the exam together, and the relationship is better than that of brothers. We can help each other in the future."
Jia's mother was still in tears: "It's just that his brother is a bit lonely after all. Your brothers are not very big, so you should have more children."
One sentence made Brother Jia Shen blush.Jia's mother thought, Jia Amnesty was better, no matter male or female, at least another child was born, but now it has been almost two years since birth, and there are still only two brothers and sisters in the second room.He raised his head and said to Jia Zheng, "This time I will definitely choose two good girls for you."
Why did he turn to the girl all of a sudden?Jia Zheng didn't even need to look, he knew that Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's faces were definitely not good at this time.I had to smile and said to Jia Mu: "I can't tell you what my brother is like. I have told the old lady in this room, and now I walk around frequently with scholars, and our family has given all the honors to me." Offended, just when you want to get closer to someone from a righteous background and ask for care, an old lady would never dare to accept a gift from someone."
Jia She also talked to Jia Zheng about the affairs of Qingliu's family that day, and since Jia Lian had won the prize of a scholar, he had to say: "I have nothing to do with Qingliu, but I didn't think about it a while ago. I can find them from those people's homes. If they know that I am still a girl at such an advanced age, what will they think of Lian'er?"
Mother Jia couldn't care less about getting angry and the two sons ignored her kindness, her eyes widened: "Xie'er, are you telling the truth? If I want to give you a girl, you don't want it?"
Jia Amnesty was getting annoyed, why did he become the one who couldn't walk when he saw a woman: "Lian'er is about to see her, and I'm getting old, so why let people point out her lust every day, and ruin the child's reputation?" Tired!"
Mother Jia patted the small kang table next to her hard: "Okay, okay. You just remember what you said today. Alas," sighed at the two daughters-in-law who hadn't woken up from Jia She's words. : "It's not that my wife has to make trouble for you, it's just for the sake of your heirs. Now your master loves you, and I'm afraid you won't be happy. It's just that you have to live up to yourselves in the future."
Even though they were old, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang still made their faces blush when they said this, but everyone felt in their hearts that the master of his family looked so pleasing to the eye today, and completely forgot what they came to discuss today.
In this way, although Jia Zhen hasn't finished asking her father for instructions, and the clan doesn't know about the fact that the general's mansion will split the clan, but in the general's mansion, the fact that the general's clan will be split has been unilaterally confirmed, and Jia Zhen is only waiting Just check next time.
But what Mrs. Wang doesn't know is that those families have deep backgrounds and wide connections, which are what the Jia family needs now: "I have told you that Zhu'er will follow the clean line in the future. Besides, Zhuer If you live up to your expectations, how can you live on your daughter-in-law's dowry?"
Mrs. Wang also became angry: "Pearl has never suffered since she was a child? Just because she married a daughter-in-law from a scholar's family, she can't do anything!"
Jia Zheng nodded with a sneer: "It turns out that you followed me and let you eat chaff. You are really wronged."
Mrs. Wang woke up suddenly, only to realize that she spoke in a hurry.Originally, Jia Zheng also wanted to be born in the imperial examination, but it was because the Duke of the State had passed the imperial examination, so he didn't go to the imperial examination.Now I have good friends with Jia Zheng, and they are all scholars. When I said this, I clearly disliked Jia Zheng: It’s not that Jia Zheng never used Mrs. Wang’s dowry, but since he got angry with her, he never I didn't ask her for a penny anymore, instead I gave my income from the Ministry of Industry to Mrs. Wang's family from time to time.
That's why the master said, let yourself eat bran and swallow vegetables?We must know that the money Jia Zheng took back may not seem like a lot at a time, but the number of times is still quite a lot, which is enough for the daily expenses of the entire west courtyard.And because the family has not been separated yet, the food and food in the west courtyard are all from the public house, and Mrs. Wang has already saved a lot of money.
Even Mrs. Wang, who is used to seeing a lot of money in and out, can't say that the sum of money in her hand is only enough to eat chaff.Therefore, Mrs. Wang, who had been sneered by Jia Zheng, could no longer utter a word: the master was indifferent to her because of what happened last year.Now I don't know how many days of lying down and doing small things to win back his heart.
When Jia's mother saw that Mrs. Wang had been extinguished by Jia Zheng, she knew that her youngest son's mind had been made up.She had known for a long time that she would not be able to resist, so she nodded: "Zhuer is like this, so is Yuanchun?"
Of course it had to be so, but Jia Zheng knew that the so-called old relatives of the Jia family would not end well when the new emperor came to the throne.If you find an in-law by yourself, and still pick and choose from these people, wouldn't you be making yourself uncomfortable?
So Jia Zheng bowed his hands to the old lady and said, "The old lady is still wise. It's not easy to move around and embarrass Yuan Chun."
Jia's mother stopped talking, and Mrs. Wang dared not say anything.Fortunately, someone announced loudly outside: "Old lady, the gift-giving mothers in the East Mansion are here."

Fortunately, Jia and Zhu are just a small scholar, which is considered a big event in the General's Mansion and even the entire Jia clan, but it is nothing more than a small disturbance in the family of the people they are in contact with: they are just like the General's Mansion. No matter how sad the Xungui family was, they still felt that he was just a scholar, and it was still too early for him to be a Jinshi.The family of scholars who interacted with Jia Zheng also felt that being a scholar was just a common thing.
So many people came to celebrate one after another, but after careful calculation, they were only a little busier than usual.Those servants got rewards for two months, and it was time to show their enthusiasm to the master, and they wished for a few more talents.

Firstly, the head of the family was Jia Amnesty, and secondly, Jia Zheng assumed the name of a scholar, so it was not easy to get angry with others.But Jia Amnesty is different, he has long been known as a gangster, and ordinary people really don't want to confront him head-on: it's normal for you to win a gangster; but if you lose, it's fun big.
Knowing that this is the result, it is still unsatisfactory: After all, it can be regarded as a matter of sharing the worries of the royal family, but it is not pleasant to be roasted on the fire.
"Our family's foundation is still too shallow." Jia She sighed to himself.
Jia Zheng continued: "Exactly. But after this incident, the people who can still associate with us are worthy of association. It can be regarded as knowing people's hearts, and it is not a loss." Not only is it not a loss, but the hidden dangers have been eliminated in advance. He still has a lot of goodwill in front of the next emperor who doesn't know where he is lying!It's just that it's not easy to say it in front of Jia She.
Jia She laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid our good nephew won't come to our door again."
It was about Jia Zhen. After knowing that Jia Zhu and Jia Zhu had won the prize of scholar, she walked around very diligently. She also thought about letting Jia Rong study with Jia Zhu and Jia Zhu in the future.
Jia Zheng also joked: "I can't say that Brother Rong has to go to homeschool again."
Just as their brothers thought, the General’s Mansion fell silent again. Those old relatives who watched the Jia She brothers become intimate with the Jia family again after they got their real jobs, now all want to kill this family: borrow the treasury The ones with the most money can be said to be those families of honorable background.
It has reached such a point, why do you still talk to Brother Jia She?Go dreaming.Jia Zhen came here once, complaining that Jia She and the others shouldn't have returned the treasury money so hastily, and now the Jia family has become the target of everyone's complaints and ridicule.
"Everyone?" Jia She was already holding back his anger, and now someone came to the door: "Which one is everyone, Zhen'er might as well point it out to open my eyes! I can also ask the sage about debts." Paying back the money, I paid the money owed according to the father's will, why did everyone shout and fight? Could it be that it is right not to pay back the money owed, and it is wrong for me to pay back the money?"
How dare Jia Zhen point out people?Besides, there is no way to point it out, if Jia She really asked the saint, he has a reputation of being unstingy, and he is not afraid to cross-examine him face to face.But others dare to say that he is wrong in front of the saint?At that time, why not hate Jia Zhen, the person who pointed them out?
"Uncle, don't worry," Jia Zhen hurriedly reassured Jia She: "It's because my nephew listened to the outsiders' comments, so I came to remind my uncle. Always be careful with uncles. Even in the clan, nephews also need to be careful." Restrain them not to conflict with others these days, and be careful that people will take advantage of it and it will not end well."
Jia Zheng said from the side: "Does Zhen'er feel that my brother has hurt the clan?"
That's what Jia Zhen meant, and she also used words to beat Jia Amnesty, even though you are uncles, but you are still the patriarch.It's just that everyone has always understood these words and would not say them clearly. Now that Jia Zheng asked them face to face, he felt a little uncomfortable answering them.During the Zhengqi Ai period, Jia She thought he had acquiesced.
"If you feel that we are burdening the clan and embarrassing you, the patriarch, it is better to separate our branch. Even if someone wants to blame, it is only directed at us, and there is no need to burden the clan." What is Jia Amnesty? Temper, now Mother Jia has to caress him along his hair, and still see this nephew?Not even the patriarch.
Jia Zheng listened to Jia Amnesty's proposal, and naturally he couldn't be happier. He drew a clear line with the Ningguo Mansion and those members of the clan who only know how to fight autumn, nodded and agreed: "Brother is right, our brothers are for the clan. Trouble, this is just the beginning. I don’t know if those people will do anything. My brother really feels ashamed for bringing down the clan like this. Why don’t we divide our clan so that we can always save it The safety of the tribe."
"Second brother?" Jia Amnesty was a little dumbfounded, he was just angry just now, to scare Jia Zhen, okay?Besides, how could he drag the second child out of the clan like him?
Jia Zheng didn't answer his words, but only used his eyes to signal him to look down at Jia Zhen who was thinking for herself.It was fine for Jia Amnesty not to look at Jia Zhen, but when he saw that Jia Zhen had really thought about Jia Zheng's words, he became even more angry: good, really good.Usually they talk about helping each other, sharing weal and woe, but now when something happens, they want to separate themselves from their family.It is really better not to have such a clansman.
Sensing the silence in the room, Jia Zhen came to her senses and found that both Jia She and brothers were looking at her.He really thought it was a good idea to divide the clan just now, mainly because the two brothers are not doing things for him as the patriarch at all, making the Jia clan a joke in the noble circle, just like Jia. As Zheng said, in the future, I don’t know if they will use other means to rectify this "heterogeneity"!
Jia Zhen didn't think that with the power of the Jia family, she could counteract the resistance of the entire noble family.Not to mention anything else, but the future marriage, who would marry a daughter into such a deadly family, and which family would marry a daughter brought up by such a family?
But on the surface, Jia Zhen still smiled and said to Jia She: "Uncle was joking, why did he talk about branch sects?" The words were so light that the wind would blow them away.
No matter how bad Jia Amnesty was at reading people's hearts, he also noticed Jia Zhen's strangeness under Jia Zheng's reminder. Ask your father." Although my branch is not the head of the clan, the money handed over to the clan is never withheld every year, and even the family school, sacrifice to the fields, and other things that are only the responsibility of the head of the clan have never been shirked. I loathe myself.Let's divide the sect, good morning!
Jia Zhen looked at Jia Zheng again: "The second master still persuades the first master, he can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke, how can he divide people out when there is something wrong with the clan? Then what has become of the Jia family?" , don’t make people laugh.”
He deserved to be laughed at, but Jia Zheng was happy to see it come true: "It's not that the clan wants to separate us, it's just that our brothers can't bear to hurt the clan, so we just asked to split the clan. You can see your father, too." That said, we won't make it hard for you."
Seeing that the two were determined, Jia Zhen pretended to persuade her a few more words, and said she would ask his father to come back in person to persuade the two uncles, so she left and went back to Ningfu.
"It's always because I didn't think clearly that day, which made my brother tired." After Jia Zheng and the others left, they bowed deeply to Jia She.
Jia She also thought about it at this time, and said: "I also agreed that day, why do you do this? Do you think that I, like that snob Jia Zhen, only blame others? It doesn't matter if we split up. How much money was spent to go in, but when something happened, everyone came to blame us. Such a clansman, what do you want him to do."
The two brothers said some heart-to-heart words again, and finally learned that Jia's mother would be there - although she is not interfering in foreign affairs now, she still has to give them the respect they deserve, so as not to let people say that they are not filial.
"How did you say it? Why did it come up with the branch sect?" When Jia Mu heard the news, she couldn't stop crying: "I said that day, don't rush to pay back the money owed, that's what you're guarding against. If you keep it safe, don't listen. It's all right now, isn't it even tolerated in the clan?" Tears rolled down as he spoke.
Jia Amnesty was still a little apprehensive about Jia's mother's tears, knowing that he had a quick temper and spoke poorly, so he just looked at Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng couldn't help it, and stepped forward to persuade: "Don't worry, old lady. I discussed it with my brother just now, and we are sorry for the clan, but when something happened, the clan came forward and blamed us without asking outsiders. Why, our own people come up and step on it first. What kind of tribe is this? The money and food we have given to the tribe these years is no different from that of the leader of the tribe. This is not enough to buy a common advance and retreat. They are afraid that they will accept us. Tired."
Can Mother Jia not know the virtues of her tribe?I don't know how many people come to her to play the autumn wind on weekdays, and she has given up her reputation of pity the old and the poor. Now it's the same as what the second child said, and she didn't wait for outsiders to come, and her own people started to abuse her.
"I only have pity on my Zhu'er and Lian'er, who don't even have a helper." Even though she knows the character of her own clan, the concept of clan still makes Jia's mother not want to divide the clan.
Jia Zheng persuaded: "Old lady, let's see, when my brother and I encountered this incident, is there anyone in the clan who stands up for us? It's not that my brother and I comfort each other. The same is true for Zhu'er and Lian'er. They The brothers grew up together, took the exam together, and the relationship is better than that of brothers. We can help each other in the future."
Jia's mother was still in tears: "It's just that his brother is a bit lonely after all. Your brothers are not very big, so you should have more children."
One sentence made Brother Jia Shen blush.Jia's mother thought, Jia Amnesty was better, no matter male or female, at least another child was born, but now it has been almost two years since birth, and there are still only two brothers and sisters in the second room.He raised his head and said to Jia Zheng, "This time I will definitely choose two good girls for you."
Why did he turn to the girl all of a sudden?Jia Zheng didn't even need to look, he knew that Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's faces were definitely not good at this time.I had to smile and said to Jia Mu: "I can't tell you what my brother is like. I have told the old lady in this room, and now I walk around frequently with scholars, and our family has given all the honors to me." Offended, just when you want to get closer to someone from a righteous background and ask for care, an old lady would never dare to accept a gift from someone."
Jia She also talked to Jia Zheng about the affairs of Qingliu's family that day, and since Jia Lian had won the prize of a scholar, he had to say: "I have nothing to do with Qingliu, but I didn't think about it a while ago. I can find them from those people's homes. If they know that I am still a girl at such an advanced age, what will they think of Lian'er?"
Mother Jia couldn't care less about getting angry and the two sons ignored her kindness, her eyes widened: "Xie'er, are you telling the truth? If I want to give you a girl, you don't want it?"
Jia Amnesty was getting annoyed, why did he become the one who couldn't walk when he saw a woman: "Lian'er is about to see her, and I'm getting old, so why let people point out her lust every day, and ruin the child's reputation?" Tired!"
Mother Jia patted the small kang table next to her hard: "Okay, okay. You just remember what you said today. Alas," sighed at the two daughters-in-law who hadn't woken up from Jia She's words. : "It's not that my wife has to make trouble for you, it's just for the sake of your heirs. Now your master loves you, and I'm afraid you won't be happy. It's just that you have to live up to yourselves in the future."
Even though they were old, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang still made their faces blush when they said this, but everyone felt in their hearts that the master of his family looked so pleasing to the eye today, and completely forgot what they came to discuss today.
In this way, although Jia Zhen hasn't finished asking her father for instructions, and the clan doesn't know about the fact that the general's mansion will split the clan, but in the general's mansion, the fact that the general's clan will be split has been unilaterally confirmed, and Jia Zhen is only waiting Just check next time.
