Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 26 26 The helplessness of the fallen nobles
"It's not that I look down on your Jia family, let alone you, even your uncle Jia Zheng doesn't have this ability."

Niu Jiadai was a little blunt.He didn't say he was looking down upon him, but his contempt was clearly reflected on Jia Lian's face.

If it had been any other Jia family, they might have been furious at this moment; but Jia Lian nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Niuzi, although I think you are useless, what you said today is right!"

Niu Jiadi came here to deliberately provoke Jia Lian. The fight between the eldest and the young master did not involve any interests, it was nothing more than nonsense and a fight for face.

Jiadai always wanted to overwhelm Jia Lian; this was a habit for so many years, and it was the confidence brought by the Niu family to overwhelm the Jia family.

Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for a few months, Jia Lian seemed to be a different person. He didn't want to be treated well at all, and he even became a little shameless.

Facing Jia Lian like this, Jia Dai was a little cautious!

"Jia Er, you are quite confident now! What? You have found a backer!"

Niu Jiadai particularly disliked Jia Lian; Jiadai was an average-looking person who thrived in the dandy circle because he had money and background.

And Jia Lian, a descendant of a declining noble family with no money and no background, used to be able to get along well in the dandy circle; but it was all because of Jia Lian's good skin.

If you look good, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, no matter whether you are facing a man or a woman, you will take advantage.

Who wants to deal with an ugly guy?
Therefore, Jia Lian, who conquered the world based on his looks, was naturally not treated favorably. Jia Lian was only squeezed three times, and those who pushed Jia Lian twice would always lose Jia Lian's face.

Young people are so good-looking, so they naturally squeeze the young Jia Lian out of the dandy circle.

Who would have thought that Jia Dai, who met Jia Lian this time and was going to step forward to ridicule him, found that Jia Lian didn't want to do this anymore.I began to face the Niu family's contempt for the Jia family calmly.

This was not the case before. Jia Lian used to be very proud of the Jia family.Why don't you care now?
This is not normal.

In fact, the Niu family was also in decline; among the four princes, eight princes, eight princes and twelve princes, there were few who were promising.After the battle of deposed prince, basically everyone was invited out of the court.

Adding up the 24 aristocratic families, the number of characters who can occupy a place in the early court is no more than two or three kittens; in the big dynasty once a month, there are not many people who are all civil, military and capital officials.

From the beginning of the new emperor, special lords don't have to go to the palace to discuss politics.

To put it bluntly, you come to join in the fun during major celebrations. Don't come when you have nothing to do. The court meeting is a place where adults discuss national affairs.You bunch of powerless people, take a rest!

In this way, we can understand why Jia Zheng, who is the head of the Sixth Grade Industry Department, is so leisurely.

The current alliance of nobles and nobles is just holding together to keep warm and trying to find a way to rush into the court!To recast the honor of the nobles.

Compared with ordinary people, they seem to be superior, but in fact they are relying on their previous reputation to make a living, and those who have real power will find another way out.

Sometimes, several declining heads of family members get together; thinking about the time when they gathered around the prince with overwhelming power, they all have some doubts about the fact that the obviously arrogant prince is not without the strength to fight even if the mutiny fails.Why did he commit suicide so impassionedly?

Isn’t the First Prince a person who has never seen strong winds and waves?Not to mention that his mutiny failed, even though he was almost beaten by Mao Zi during his crusade against the Northeast, he never saw the prince panic.

In particular, it didn't matter that the former prince died, but they were completely included in it; the court completely launched a purge of the prince's line.

After that, because of the prince's affairs, the courtiers of the prince's line, whether they were the prince or not, became cautious and behaved appropriately. Therefore, the government became clear and clear for a while, and the only ones who suffered were those nobles who suffered too much.

Nowadays, the party is united and opposed, but it only became more intense later because of the liquidation of the prince.

But as far as the results are concerned, the more than 20 heads of the family can't help but be suspicious.

"Tell me, was the prince playing tricks on us back then?"

At that time, Niu Jizong, a client of the Niu family, would also make teasing remarks.

"I have to ask Jia She about this. He might have been played by the prince!"

Normally, everyone would burst into laughter at this time. Anyway, now we don't bring Jia She to the party anymore, so naturally this joke doesn't matter.

But behind this is the helplessness of the current situation, and he can only rely on dirty jokes to adjust his life and satisfy his addiction; to vent his anger at the inconsistency of the Jia family's affairs.Now times have changed, a new generation replaces the old, and the next generation will also come to the stage.Jiadai has also grown up, so he is naturally much more stable than when he was a child.

There must be a monster when something goes wrong, and you must ask yourself.Jia Lian, who has always seen him like a mouse seeing a cat, is rare because of the Jia family and himself.

What happened?Can Jia Lian get a share of the pie now?Could it be that he really found a supporter?
Jia Dai was unsure.

But Jia Lian was not prepared to answer at all.Who said that if you ask me anything, I will answer it.

I can still remain silent when I'm in a situation, let alone asking questions from a young man who is also a declining noble.

"The support is falling, and the water is dry, Xiao Niu'er! Why don't you and the second master talk to me about what you are missing? I have connections. If you are not satisfied, I can also find a way to help you move!"

Jia Lian still had a playful smile and rubbed his fingers in a gesture; his attitude was a disguised admission that he had a backer.

Niu Jizong looked at the high-spirited Jia Lian in front of him, as if he was in another world.

Could it be that the Jia family is about to get up again?

This is not a good thing. From the dead old guy to the living old guy, this family is not in tune.If they gain the upper hand, it won't be a big deal.

Jia Tai's teeth were so sore that he gritted his teeth and said.

"Sir, I have appointed You Fengluan, the secretary of the Jiaofang under the Taichang Temple under the Ministry of Rites! From the ninth rank!"

Jiadai Ge frowned and said very proudly. This is indeed something Jiadai should be proud of.

First, although the Jiaofangsi is a place where the family members of offending officials are punished, it is not a brothel or an official prostitute. It is an institution responsible for the performance of court rituals and music. It is mainly responsible for court banquets, singing and dancing, opera and various opera activities.

It is a serious place for performing arts and not selling oneself.

After all, when a rabbit dies and a fox grieves, no one in office can guarantee whether their family will see such a day, so they take great care of this place.

But there are thousands of kinds of people, and naturally they are bound to get drunk and act recklessly, but they are only a minority.It's really nonsense. It's mostly consensual.

This different situation is enough to make the unsteady official ladies try their best to get back to the clouds.It would be a good idea to seek refuge in the high-ranking official who came to Jiaofangsi to listen to music.

Therefore, although the entrance of the Jiaofangsi is not large, it is a place with good connections in all directions.

It's just that most of them deal with people from Leji, and people who are self-respecting are not willing to go here.

And the Niu family gave Niu Jiadai such a position, and they thought about it carefully; anyone with a little knowledge can understand that this is what the dandy is best at, and it is also the holy place in the hearts of all dandy.

But Jia Lian didn't want to see the good news being publicized.

"Feng Luan of the Jiaofang Division? Isn't that the eunuch's job?"

Jia Lian knew in his heart that the position of Fengluan of the Jiaofang Secretary was not fixed in the first place, but because one of them was either a Lehu or a woman, he was afraid that there would be unscrupulous things spread, so he left it to the back court to deal with it.

There are two sets of official positions in the former dynasty and the back court. The Jiaofangsi is the formal yamen gate of the former dynasty and is managed by the ministers in the back court.

Nowadays, it is normal for the emperor to go on a bloodletting spree and free up the post of You Fengluan of the Jiaofang Department.

But Jia Lian just wanted to be disgusted and treated well.

And just as Jia Lian expected, being scolded as a eunuch was naturally unbearable for Jia Dai.

"Jia Er, fart your mother, come and dry your mouth."

But before he finished speaking, Jia Lian didn't even take action, and Niu Jiadi got a big mouthful!
