The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 93 Jia Zhen's Guess

Now Jia Amnesty suddenly became seriously ill, and he was close to death. No one knew that one of the happiest people was Mrs. Wang.

In fact, Mrs. Wang has always been worried that it was fine when Jia Mu was there, but once Jia Mu went away, Jia Amnesty would find a way to drive him and his wife out of Rongguo Mansion.

Although the family property was divided in the hands of the old man, the world is sometimes unfair.

Jia Amnesty took over the title, and when Jia's mother died, he would be the person with the highest status in the Jia family. If he became unreasonable at that time, it would be difficult for the husband and wife to deal with it.

Now Jia Amnesty will die one step earlier than Jia's mother, which is a happy event from heaven.

Although, most of the titles will still be in the hands of Dafang, at least, whether they are facing Jia Lian or Jia Cong, they have advantages as elders.

However, she saw Jia Zheng acting like he was passing by, unable to plan for the future, so she reminded:

"His uncle had resentment, but it was only because the old lady was still there that he failed to show it.

If the old lady goes away in the future, I'm afraid his uncle won't let us go. "

Jia Zheng was no better than Mrs. Wang, he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, so he squinted at Mrs. Wang when he heard the words.

I suspect that you are joking. Looking at it like this, I am afraid that when the old lady goes, my brother's bones can be knocked loudly.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Zheng's gaze, and continued: "Since his uncle has this idea, I'm afraid Lian'er may not have it. I think Lian'er has gradually matured recently, and she is willing to learn from her ancestors and go to the battlefield to gain fame.

If in the future he is unwilling to live in Dongkua Courtyard after he takes over the title, and wants to come back here to live, what does the master say we should do? "

Jia Zheng's eyes also became sad.

Although he is noble and doesn't like to talk about benefits, he also knows that what Mrs. Wang said may not be impossible.

Thinking about changing positions, if he is Jia Lian, he may not be willing to live in the side courtyard all the time.

"Well, we can only talk about it at that time. As an uncle, I have never treated him badly these years, so he must appreciate my kindness and won't openly turn against me for this.

Even if the old lady is gone, when it is extremely difficult, I have no choice but to return some of the family property to him, and we can just buy another house. "

Speaking of these, Jia Zheng felt uncomfortable.

After all, he didn't steal or rob this property, but relied on his performance when he was young. His parents gave it to him, and he has been sitting on it for so many years. He is naturally reluctant to ask him to hand it back when he is old.

But he also knows that in the family property, such as houses, shops, and farms elsewhere, he can inherit it legitimately, because these things can be born out of the title, and Jia Zheng inherited them from his parents.

There is only this huge and splendid Royal Imperial Mansion, if the big house wants it, he has to give it.

In fact, Jia Zheng once even thought about simply wrapping up his family's property and moving out, giving Jia Amnesty an empty shell of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, to see how he can maintain the huge Duke's mansion's expenses.

After all, he felt that this was too bad, and he couldn't do the thing of throwing Jia's face aside just to see his brother's jokes.

He even thought in his heart, it's not that I don't want to move out, but that my eldest brother is too prodigal, if he were to take over the family business, I'm afraid it won't be long before all of them are ruined.

Look, isn't there nothing left from the part of the family property that the old lady gave him back then?
Although Mrs. Wang also knows that even if they move out of the Duke's mansion, they can live a good life. Even the old lady said that those brothers and sisters in her house that belonged exclusively to her will belong to Baoyu in the future...

No one knows better than Mrs. Wang how rich Jiamu's family is, even compared to the current official treasury of Rongguo Mansion!

So, no matter what, they will not have a miserable life.

However, people always look up. She has been the head wife in the Duke's mansion for more than ten years. How can she be willing to go out and be an ordinary official wife?

"I've heard from the master that Lian'er is already a serious official, and he's young, so I'm afraid he can be promoted again in the future, so his future will be bright.

But as for Baoyu, his future has not yet been settled, and he does not study hard like his elder brother. Do you think it is okay to let Baoyu come to take over the title of the family. "

Mrs. Wang tried her best to speak lightly, making it look like she didn't pay much attention.

Titles and official positions are all official status, and they are also the foundation of a family like them.

For example, Jia Zheng, although he has no title, has a decent official status and still has a full status, and he will not be at a disadvantage in the face of Jia She.

From what she meant, it was like two brothers, one was promising, and he could earn an official position, and the other was weaker, and his parents were partial, giving the official position to the weaker one at home.

But Jia Zheng still saw through his wife's illicit intentions at a glance!

His face suddenly turned ugly, and he scolded: "Hugh said this is impossible, even if it can be done, I won't allow you to think about it!
If it gets out, I, Jia Cunzhou, don't have to be a human anymore! "

Jia Zheng valued his reputation very much. Even if his father didn't pass on the title to him, he was only disappointed for a while and then let it go.

In his heart, studying, obtaining fame, serving the emperor and father, and passing on to future generations, this is the right way.

That's why he forced his son to study. Whether it's Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, or Jia Huan, he expects them to study and make progress, so that they can become officials through the imperial examination in the future.

As for titles, it's good to have them, but it's nothing if you don't have them.

Those are shortcuts taken by people who are not motivated.

For example, Jia Lian in the past, because he knew that there was a title to inherit, he just regarded it as a leisurely study. Anyway, he didn't need to take the imperial examination to become an official.

Jia Zheng looked down on such people.

Now Mrs. Wang actually wants to persuade him to seize the title of Dafang, in order to let her son Baoyu also take a shortcut. Such words that offend his inner pride make him very angry.

"As for Baoyu, I have already set a future for him, and in the future he can only become an official through the imperial examination.

What title, this kind of thing can last for a long time?

The Ze of the Gentleman, will be cut for the fifth generation.Only by handing down poems and books can it be truly long-lasting.

The sages and sages in ancient times, the prime ministers who helped the country govern the people, who made great achievements for thousands of years by relying on their family titles?
Even if Baoyu does not pass the imperial examination in the future, it can only be blamed on you for being too spoiled. He has no ability and has lived a poor life, so he can't blame others.

Ask Lian'er to give up the title to Baoyu, thank you for thinking it out. "

Jia Zheng reprimanded Mrs. Wang mercilessly.

Mrs. Wang had thought about the outcome before she spoke, so she didn't care too much. Seeing that Jia Zheng's attitude was firm, she didn't say anything more, skipped the matter, and asked about Xue Pan's lawsuit.

Whether the son is good or not needs to be compared. Comparing with Pan'er, Jia Zheng may be much more satisfied with Baoyu.

……

In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen had to let go of her filthy thoughts because of the rumors in the mansion a year ago, in order to avoid suspicion, and spared Qin's appointment.

But after all, he is not a person who can control his desires for a long time. Recently, seeing Qin Shi becoming more and more charming, his heart became uncontrollably restless, and gradually strengthened his flattery to Qin Shi.

He believed that as long as Rong'er and Qin's husband and wife were not allowed to exist, women would miss men once they were lonely for a long time.

Coupled with his sugar-coated shells, it is possible to embrace the beauty.

As for using force, he naturally wouldn't think about it before the seduction failed.Besides, he didn't dare to use force.

The appointment of Qin Shi as the great-grandson's wife was made when his grandfather was still alive. At that time, Qin Shi was just a baby.

He himself didn't know whether those people behind Qin Shi were still paying attention to Qin Shi.

Therefore, the words he threatened Jia Rong were also half-truths and half-false.

As his behavior became more and more explicit, he believed that as long as Qin Shi was not stupid, he could see his intentions. However, although Qin Shi didn't cater to him, she didn't seem to have the intention of scolding him, which made him secretly excited.

Just when he was about to take down his daughter-in-law with all his might, he didn't know who should be damned, and who would be wrong to offend, but instead he wanted to offend Jiao Da who was drunk.

There were still guests that night, so Jiao Da started yelling in the South Garden. He asked Jia Rong to intimidate him, but Jiao Da turned around and scolded both his father and his son.

"A group of beasts who don't live up to expectations, those who pare ashes pick up ashes, and those who raise uncles raise younger uncles" this famous saying was spread, and his face turned green at that time.

Not sooner or later, at the critical moment, all his enthusiasm was extinguished.

He felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him secretly, and it seemed that they could still read his mind!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?In anger, he sent Jiao Da to Zhuangzi in the south every few days.

In fact, he wished he could kill that old guy.

But he didn't dare, the reason is very simple, Jiao Da is his ancestor's personal soldier, and he has saved his ancestor's life!
When he didn't have any official position and enjoyed his wealth only by the shadow of his ancestors, he didn't dare to bear the name of ungrateful, so even though he hated him to death, he just sent him away.

"By the way, raising my uncle, who is he scolding?"

Jia Zhen is still very sensitive, knowing that "pa Hui" is scolding him, so who is the adopted uncle?

Jia Zhen didn't doubt Youshi, because in his heart Youshi was very timid, and it was impossible for him to dare to betray him.

Could it be the Qin family...

Jia Zhen thought it was very possible. After all, the Qin family was more charming than the You family. After marriage, such a woman would not be able to bear the loneliness if she did not get nourished by her husband.

He was very upset in his heart, could it be that he was busy making a wedding dress for someone else?It seems that he has to find an opportunity to beat Qiang'er well, and then ask if Qiang'er picked his fruit!

If the Qin family raised a younger uncle, it would undoubtedly be Jia Qiang.
