It didn't matter how long the General's Mansion had to wait, Jia Zhen came to the mansion again within less than three days after Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, begging to see the two masters.Needless to say, just looking at his expression of wanting to be happy but enduring, Jia Amnesty and the two understood.It seems that the Ningguo Mansion thought that the General Mansion would probably not be able to resist this time, and wanted to get rid of this burden.

But it was precisely because he understood that Jia Amnesty looked down on Jia Zhen even more, so he was no longer polite: "A tree has a lot of branches, which is true for a family, and it is also true for a clan. The patriarch Jia is discussing with your father. Alright, have you thought about how to divide this sect?"

How to divide this?Jia Zhen ignored the Patriarch Jia, and turned to look at Jia Amnesty, who was sneering at her, with a begging look.Jia She snorted and asked, "Don't you think it's over just by ticking off our names from the family tree? Do we have to have a share of those family properties? Do we have to take my share of those sacrificial lands?" The funds from the General’s Mansion are set aside? And your ethnology school, forget it, there is not much money, we don’t care about that, but we will not contribute any more money in the future. But the two things mentioned above, everything we All contributions from the General’s Mansion should be handed over to us. You’d better go back and figure it out before you come back. It’s just that you have an account there, and our mansion also has an account, so it’s best to make the difference between the two accounts.”

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Zheng, wondering if he had memorized everything.Seeing Jia Zheng nodded slightly, he looked at Jia Zhen who was speechless for a long time with satisfaction.Jia Zheng was also worried about the IQs of Jia Zhen and his son. Just like that, he still wanted to follow suit. No wonder a patriarch in the original book was so tightly controlled by Jia Mu, an old lady who didn't leave the inner house.

It's just that a gentleman is ashamed of profit, and he is a brother. Jia Amnesty said these words, and if he said it, he would be suspected of overpowering his elder brother.But even though he couldn't say it, he couldn't discuss it with Jia Amnesty behind his back, and think about what method Jia Zhen might use to divide the clan with them?Don't forget, he is the one who controls the direction of the plot, so that Jia Lian no longer has to secretly marry Second Sister You, and no one needs to let others say that only two stone lions at the door are clean days, which should not be too beautiful.

Happiness is a state of mind, and life cannot be based on state of mind alone.So sad Jia Zhen found that her father and son were only focused on getting rid of the burden, but forgot that there was gold and silver in the burden.Now that people want to get back the gold and silver he spent, he can't say a word.

My family knows their own affairs, and as the family property manager, it is impossible for the patriarch's family to do nothing about the family property.Knowing this, Jia Zhen felt guilty when she told Jia Amnesty that the general's residence also had accounts.It's just that I have reached this point, but I can't help but shrink back, so I can only say: "My nephew has not been in charge of the family for a long time, and I just know a lot of things in general. I am afraid that it will take some time to count the family property." Please give me some time to cover it up. ah.

Jia Amnesty and the others had also discussed this situation, so he didn't push too much. Anyway, he was not the one who was afraid of being implicated: "It's not a precaution. As long as you tell us a date, we will be there." Two strokes are considered a success consensus.

Not long after, rumors spread in the middle of Beijing that the General's Mansion did not want to drag down the entire Jia clan because of the repayment of the money, and asked to split the clan.If we talk about this beginning, it was Jia Zheng who took the opportunity to smear the general's mansion, and asked his servants to spread some words quietly, so as to prevent it from happening.Later, the public opinion overwhelmingly favored the general's mansion for being righteous, daring to act, and not dragging others down when things happen.

If it doesn't show that someone is helping, Jia Zheng has taken the core of the website in vain.He immediately asked the servants of the general's mansion to shrink back to the mansion, and just closed the door to live their own lives.Jia She asked him why, but he just explained to him that he didn't know whether the person behind the scenes was an enemy or a friend, and he didn't dare to tell the deeper inferences, lest Jia She would rely on himself and act out of proportion.

A few days after the division, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian returned to Beijing under the leadership of Mr. Yang.After the two children left for more than half a year, not only their stature has improved, but also their demeanor has changed a lot. They no longer depend on their elders for everything when they are in the mansion.

"Go, go offer incense to the ancestors, and tell the ancestors that the two of you have learned something, thanks to the protection of the ancestors." Jiamu told the two children.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were taken down, but they didn't go to Ningguo Mansion, but to a magnificent place in their own home.The two younger brothers only found out after asking that they were not in Beijing, and the General's Mansion had been divided from the Ningguo Mansion.This branching is a big deal, the two half-children who have been educated by the clan since childhood, can't help but make up the plot that their family was bullied by the original clan, so they had to bear the humiliation and so on.

"Come here, go get the firecrackers." Jia Lian ordered with a sullen face.Jia Zhu was only taken aback for a moment, and then she knew why Jia Lian did this - don't you think we are sorry?Let me show you now, without you, not only are we not getting worse every day, but we are even more prosperous!

Without asking the elders, the two little guys took care of it.Regardless of what the Ningguo Mansion and other members of the family surnamed Jia felt when they heard the sound of firecrackers, Jia's mother, Xing, and Wang were still very relieved when they heard it.Hmph, let's see, we have a lot of promising children in our family, not comparable to those of your children who only know how to tease cats and dogs every day.

Jia Zheng also heard the sound of firecrackers, but he didn't stop them.It is good for children to have a sense of family responsibility.What's more, after this incident, they may have prejudices against Ningguo Mansion and the original Jia family members, and they will be careful when dealing with these people.This kind of experience is more effective than how many times he preached.Even when Jia She came back from the Yamen and found out, he only praised Jia Lian for his integrity, and rewarded him with something in person.

It's inevitable to have a family banquet, and it's inevitable for my family to have fun together, but the two children are not in a good mood.But no one blamed them, not to mention the two and a half-year-old children just now, even adults, people clearly disliked them, and felt awkward. Of course, outsiders don't know that this is the general's mansion. However, the rumors outside will not last so long.

The benefits are not without it. For example, Jia Shexiu took Jia Lian to visit his grandfather's house on Muri, and he didn't suffer much trouble: his own grandson was the grandson of a scholar at a young age, even if I was a bit of a jerk , But the grandson who didn't delay his success, made Zhang's family think that this son Xiao's mother, how could he be willing to embarrass him?Coupled with Jia Amnesty's sincere attitude, it was just for the sake of the child to let him go.

After listening to Jia Amnesty's request and thinking about remarrying with the Zhang family, the Zhang family still had a hard time doing it.Looking at children is a good one, but if it is not good, you can't be around such an old man, and you have become a scholar at a young age.But when it comes to family background, people really don't like it: they have already built an aunt, who is willing to push their daughter into the fire pit again.

Jia Amnesty also knew the Zhang family's concerns, so he said what Jia Zheng taught him: "I used to be confused, thinking that the rules of the family were not bad. Who knew that the rules of the family were quite different from those of the Qingliu family. I don't like to judge who is right or wrong, but I am a junior. It's just that Lian'er is going to take the imperial examination in the future, so she will act according to the clear flow."

The Zhang family thought again when they heard it. Why did you let Jia Lian take the imperial examination? Don't you want him to take over the title?Angrily, no one responded to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty didn't know where he was wrong here, so he had to take Jia Lian back to the mansion and continue to discuss with Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng didn't know where the problem was. Fortunately, now that Mr. Yang is back, his brain is really suitable for the officialdom of this era. When it was time to visit, everyone was happy, and the Zhang family agreed to show Jia Lian a visit at their own home or the home of someone close to them.

After solving one Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, who is one year older than him, can't delay.Isn't Jia Zheng resting at home every day?Alright, let's take the kids to the literary fair.Anyway, the two children already have a small reputation, which is more legitimate than Jia Zheng's own participation in these literary conferences.

It can only be said that Qingliu's actions are much more grand than those of the nobles.Even when Jia She had just paid back the money owed, those people could smile like spring breeze when facing Jia Zheng.Of course, it may also have something to do with Qingliu generally not owing much money or not owed money at all.In short, during these days when Jia Zheng was resting at home, Jia Qingliu did not alienate him because of this. On the contrary, some scholars thought that Jia Zheng was implicated by Jia Amnesty, but they never complained. Look a lot.

Only then did Jia Zhu and Jia Lian realize that Jia Zheng was still quite popular among scholars: because from the very beginning, he considered his position very low, that is, a student.In fact, some scholars have no higher official positions than Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng can ask them for advice.At the beginning, some people thought that Jia Zheng was posturing, but after a long time, everyone discovered that this person was not.

You answered him the questions he asked you for advice, and he didn't follow blindly. Instead, he went back and found books to read and confirm.In this way, Jia Zheng read more and more books. When discussing knowledge with others, he listened more and talked less at the beginning, and gradually put forward his own opinions, and then debated with others with reason.This has to be admirable.After all, everyone is already an adult, and there are always some trivial matters.It is always convincing to be able to persist in reading under such circumstances.

By the time he showed up at the literary meeting with Jia Zhu and the two of them, he was already well-known in the circle.Even leading others to be very polite to both Jia and Zhu, this benefited Jia and Zhu a lot: many famous scholars who they only knew were well-known scholars, and they personally tested their knowledge.

Fortunately, Mr. Yang taught well. Even though Jia and Zhu were nervous, they still answered other people's questions to the best of their knowledge.Maybe their answers are still very immature, or maybe they are a little biased, but no one can deny that these two children have put their minds and efforts into it, and some of their insights are also inspiring to these scholars who are full of articles.

What's more obvious is that the answers of Jia Zhu and the other two showed no sign of being guided or favored by others.Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, the arrogance of a scholar is a wonderful thing: if you cater to him, he thinks you have no backbone, if you don't cater to him, he thinks you look down on his views.However, if they are dealing with two and a half older children, or there is an elder who clearly knows their views, they will ignore these.

At this moment, what they care about is whether these two children have the desire to be charming!After the school examination, the two children's answers were obviously their own opinions, which made these scholars feel that Jia Zheng was dedicated to teaching his nephews.If the nephew does not fall in love with them, it is even more impossible for the person who teaches them to fall in love with them!

Thinking strange, right?But this is the reality that Jia Zhu and the others experienced.After several literary meetings, the two of them have gotten very close to the children of scholars, and even received their own articles from the literary meetings.Of course, their most important experience cannot be placed on this. Being a scholar is just the first step in the imperial examination, and there are still township examinations and Chunwei waiting for them.

Jia Zheng himself didn't relax. When he didn't go to the literary conference, he would just study behind closed doors at home, or discuss knowledge with Mr. Yang.Just like the official from the Ministry of Industry, he has never worked before, nor was he sent home on vacation, but has been studying at home all the time.

Some people didn't notice it, but it's not difficult for those who are interested to find out, for example, they have been paying attention to the current situation of the General's Mansion.In fact, Jia Amnesty is more concerned today, but what the people below reported to him is that Jia Amnesty's current behavior is full of Jia Zheng's shadow everywhere.This made him have to separate his mind and pay attention to Jia Zheng's behavior.

No matter how you look at it, this person is a book reader.If other people are at home on vacation like him, they have to go to the Shangguan's place, or ask themselves when they can cancel their vacation and go to the government to do business.For nothing else, can you not think about your own wallet?Anyone who is a real-time official does not know that if there is no errand, there will be no gray income.

But Jia Zheng did not.It's not that he doesn't know etiquette. On festivals, Mu Tangguan and Tang Shangshu, as well as the families of the servants of the Ministry of Industry, and the families of his colleagues in the Military Supply Department, will receive gifts from the General's Mansion.That's really just etiquette in the general sense, no more than Jia Zheng's family who came from the imperial examination at the same level.Even the servant who gave the gift would not ask the servants about the master's likes and dislikes, as it gave people the feeling that they did their best.

This makes it impossible to ignore it today. Could it be that this Jia Zheng only wanted to study, but because Jia Daishan had a legacy, he had to become an official?But judging from the errands he handles, they are orderly and orderly, and there are no omissions.In today's puzzling world, people called Jia She again.

Jia Amnesty was a little puzzled when he heard the current problem: "Hui Shengren, this brother of my family liked to read since he was a child. Because of this, my late father loved him a lot. But he is not uncommon, but he is just a ,” Jia Amnesty tried to organize his words: “Compared with these, he is more willing to study by himself.”

Today is very strange: "Hasn't he thought about how to settle down?"

Jia She is even more strange than today: "Settle down? Didn't you, the sage, reward him with an official position? Isn't that enough? How else can he live and live?"

Speaking of which, he has been with Jia Daishan for more than ten years, and he still has a kind of respect for Jia She, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big effort to make Jia She an official.Looking at it now, this person really doesn't have much talent for being an official, but his brother who likes to read, not to mention good books, is considered an official.

"Fortunately, that brother of yours is only thinking about studying. But if he gets his mind on it, what will you do with the General's Mansion?" Now he sighed speechlessly to Jia She.

Jia She said: "Thank you Saint for your concern. It's just that my brother doesn't know how to do it. He only wants to be a gentleman, and he will act according to the rules in the book. He will never think like this again."

Today is silent.Going on, it seems that I want to provoke the relationship between other people's brothers.Hehe, a brother who wants to be a gentleman is fine, so there will never be any incidents of brothers fighting against each other in the general's mansion.

A courtier who wants to be a gentleman now feels that he can rest assured-if he wants to be a gentleman, he will not be greedy for money, he will abide by the rules, and he will not be involved in the battle for the heir.So at a court meeting, he asked the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "I remember that Jia Daishan's second son was sent to your Ministry of Industry. How is he? Is he doing well now?"

Tang Shangshu didn't know why he asked this question today, but he noticed that Jia Daishan was mentioned first, and he is a person whom he has been favored for many years: "Return to the Holy Lord, Jia Zheng, the second son of Duke Jia, is indeed working in the Ministry of Industry. He is steady and meticulous in his work.”

Present day hummed for some unknown meaning, and didn't ask any other questions, just said: "I heard that he is a good student, and his actions can be regarded as methodical. By the way, how was his performance appraisal last year?"

If Tang Shangshu didn't know the meaning of the present, he could still secure the position of a Shangshu, and immediately replied: "Jia Zheng's performance was excellent in the examination last year."

Jin Jin nodded: "Well, it can be considered that he has not fallen into the name of Daishan." Without further words, he asked about other ministries.However, Tang Shangshu knew that Jia Zheng's leave could not be taken any longer.That's right, it's the busy time of the new year, and it's better to have a solid subordinate who does the work better than those who talk a lot.

Suddenly receiving the notice that he would go to the Yamen tomorrow, Jia Zheng still felt a little puzzled, he had a good life studying at home, why did he let himself go to the Yamen as the Chinese New Year was approaching?It was not until Jia Amnesty came down to the Yamen that he found out that his feelings were that he couldn't see him relaxing at home anymore.To say that this is really an era of fighting for fathers, just because my father has a good relationship with the present, even myself and Jia Amnesty have benefited.With today's testimonials that have not fallen into Daishan's reputation, those who want to touch the general's mansion will have to weigh it.

It's just that in the original book, why hasn't the Rongguo Mansion been taken care of like this now?After Jia Zheng thought about it, he understood that the actions of the Jia She brothers in the original book can be regarded as "degrading Jia Daishan's reputation" in today's eyes, so today he feels it is worthless to replace Jia Daishan, and let them fend for themselves.

Mother Jia was very happy to hear that Jia Zheng was able to go to the government office again. She also knew that this was the current move to wipe out the money owed by the General's Mansion.In her mind, it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now, so Mrs. Xing should prepare generous gifts and send them to Jia Zheng's superiors.

Jia Zheng quickly stopped: "Don't worry about it, old lady. Although it's almost the end of the new year, our family's annual gift has already been given away. If we give it now, it will make people feel that we are flattering."

"As a subordinate, isn't it right for you to curry favor with the superior?" Jia's mother became more and more incomprehensible to her youngest son's behavior.

Jia Zheng shook his head: "Hasn't the old lady noticed? I have been studying at home for two or three months. Why do you ask me at this time? It's not because I don't move around, I don't go to the camp. If I suddenly flatter Shangguan , how can the sage see me?"

Jia's mother had no choice but to let Jia Zheng act.But he taught Jia Zhu two things: "A few days ago, didn't you ask me why I couldn't go to the Yamen, and I wasn't in a hurry? Now do you know? As long as you walk upright and stand upright, you won't be afraid of temporary setbacks." You need to know that justice is at your ease." The two of Jia Zhu stood up to be taught.

Jia Amnesty said from the side: "You are learning more and more Taoism now, the two children should not follow your example. Act according to the rules."

Jia Zheng disagreed and said: "What's wrong with talking according to the rules? If you follow the rules in everything, you can still do it without causing trouble, and you can keep them safe all their lives."

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to wave his hands and admit defeat: "That's all, I can't say no to you. It's just that you can handle errands after all, shouldn't you invite us today, the old lady has been worried about you these days."

Jia Zheng was amused in his heart, now that Jia Amnesty puts the old lady first in everything, but only does what he thinks is feasible, it is getting more and more convenient.But these days, everyone is indeed a little worried, even Mrs. Wang is considerate of him, regardless of whether he has gone to the house or not.

"Then ask Madam to prepare it?" Jia Zheng felt that Madam Wang had performed well these days, so he smiled and said to her, "Let Yuan Chun learn from it."

Mrs. Wang had already agreed with a smile on her face. She was just about to go out, but she didn't want Shaoyao to report to Mother Jia: "Old lady, Ningguo Mansion sent someone to give gifts, saying it was to celebrate the second master's return to work."

Those who listened felt a little tired. This Jia Zhen's behavior has really remained the same. She is always willing to step forward when she sees something beneficial. Some time ago, she was ignoring the general's mansion.

It's just that officials don't give gifts, and now that the two houses are divided, Jia Mu can only order people to come in with a flat face.It was the pretty woman in front of Youshi who came, and she smiled all over her face as soon as she entered the door: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady. Our uncle and grandma heard that the second master is back on business, and we are all happy for the second master."

At this time, Mother Jia also had a smile on her face: "I'm sorry for you. They all live in the neighborhood, and let your uncle and grandma worry about our affairs."

The old woman's face was blushing, others don't understand, how can these slaves who follow the master's face not understand, the old lady is arguing: Although the two houses are separated, they live next door, and ordinary people will Walk around once or twice, and give a helping hand when something happens.But in my own house, it seems that there is no such neighbor, so they live their own lives.Now when I hear that someone has regained their errand, I rush to the hot stove, so what are you waiting for if you don't let people pick it up.

Jia Zheng was amused by Jia's mother's words. The old lady's fighting power is still the same as before. It seems that in the future when dealing with the Ningguo Mansion, if this old lady comes out, I'm not afraid that the other family will post it shamelessly.
