Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 29 29 The Jia family’s in-laws are really weird

After speaking, the cousin walked out from behind the desk, stood behind Jia Lian, held Jia Lian's shoulders and pressed them to encourage him.Then he left a sentence.

"If you need anything in the future, you can find me at Nanxunfang East Chang'an Street!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without leaving a name!

But this also shows the cousin's sincerity. He gave his address to Jia Lian so that he can move around like a relative in the future.He really recognized Jia Lian as his cousin.

After hearing his cousin's address, Jia Lian became even more convinced that his cousin was something special.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Taiyuan Hospital, and Luan Jiaku are all on East Chang'an Street. Next to it is Chengtianmen. This place is very convenient in the morning.

Nanxunfang is the only residential area nearby; if you can have a house in such an inch of land, it is not a matter of money at all.

Bragging, who dares to say that he has a suite in Beijing First Ring Road!
As for his eighth-grade cousin, not only did he have a suite next to the first ring, but it was also a property in a place where important ministers gathered.

It seems that my cousin's thigh is thicker than that of my uncle Zhang Erhe.

Could it be that I, Jia Lian, have really gotten into my maternal family’s network?Will he become famous from now on?
"Happiness comes so suddenly! Sure enough, life is a matter of right step and right step! Wrong step and wrong step of every step!"

Jia Lian froze in his seat for a while, clearing his mind!

The mysterious cousin brought countless happy troubles to Jia Lian, but behind these happy troubles were mysteries one after another.And Jia Lian couldn't figure out this mystery at all.

First of all, the first mystery is how come the Jia family, apart from the in-law families of the four major families, are the only ones who can move around, such as the Xing family and the You family, who have no roots.

Where are the other in-laws?

You must know that Great China has always been a society of relationships; especially in-laws, which are the most important relationship, second only to blood-related clans.

In feudal society, if a man from a wealthy family wanted to remarry his wife after his death, the first person had to obtain the consent of the original wife's family. Only then could the remarried wife have gone through the formal procedures.

This is not simply a family relationship, but also a matter of interest; the dowry of ten miles of red dots that a young lady from a wealthy family brings when she gets married is all real money and can support a large family.

Money is still the worst thing that a wife brings, but the power of the mother's family is the most important. Those are relationships that can be used to lend strength at critical moments.

Therefore, the reason why sons were favored over daughters in ancient times was because men in small families were strong laborers. Marrying a wife did not require a betrothal gift, nor did the woman pay a dowry.

And the wife who comes from a wealthy family with a betrothal gift comes with a large dowry and connections.

Although the dowry is the woman's private property, it will be inherited by the mistress's children in the future. In the end, it is the man who gets the cheaper price.

Therefore, if the deceased wife remarries from a wealthy family, the new wife will still treat the original wife as her natal family. In terms of relationship, she can be regarded as half the daughter of the original wife's family. She will call her father and mother. of.

Because this involves a large amount of property ownership, the family must control it.

It was because Mrs. Xing did not have this level of formalities and was not recognized by the Zhang family that she continued to have an unfair reputation in the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian felt unbalanced again.

"I just feel something is wrong! How can someone who can marry my father be from a small family? Then where did my mother's large dowry go?"

That's all his money!Enough wealth to make Jia Lian's liver ache!
In the past, Jia Lian thought that maybe something big had happened to his maternal family, and there were not many people left, which was why such a situation had arisen.But after these two days of contact, I realized that it is not so easy for a wealthy family to die.Fang Xiaoru, who killed ten clans, also had many clansmen survive!

A family that can marry into the Duke's Mansion cannot be an ordinary squire clan; I dare not say it is a top wealthy family, at least it must be a second-rate family!

In particular, from what he saw in the past two days, Jia Lian saw the tip of the iceberg of his family’s relationship network;
I dare not say that it is better than the previous Jia family, at least it is much better than the now declining Jia family; only now does Jia Lian understand that his own family is not that simple!
Uncle, cousin, and uncle seemed to be connected in a line, and there was definitely a network behind this line.

"It turns out that this wife's family is not just a relationship between one family, but a very large network of relationships."

Jia Lian sighed, do you think this is right?This is like the in-laws of the Duke's palace.

But this again reveals the weirdness of Jia's family, Rongning and Ningxia. There are many things that Jia Lian can't figure out again.

The most difficult thing to understand is how the Jia family was so cleanly cut off from the deceased wife's family. Didn't anyone say goodbye during the holidays, and even when the house was confiscated, no in-laws took care of it?

Really so heartless?Or is there another reason?

It wouldn't matter if there was only Jia Lian; then Jia Zhen also had a deceased wife, and You was Jia Zhen's second wife, not Jia Rong's biological mother; but who Jia Rong's maternal family was was never mentioned.

Not to mention, Jia Zhen is not actually the first heir to the Ningguo Mansion. She is just a cheap one who got the title of third-class general only after her brother died.

Just because of his example, Mrs. Wang had ambitions that she shouldn't have.

There is an elder brother above Jia Zhen, whose name I don’t know, but Jia Qiang is the descendant of this person, and Jia Qiang is the decent great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion;

But the only thing mentioned in the Red Mansion is that Jia Qiang's parents died young and she lived with Jia Zhen since she was a child. She was more romantic and handsome than Jia Rong.Even though he goes to school every day, he only hides his eyes and is still a lackey in a cockfight, admiring flowers and willows.

But he never said a word about who his mother-in-law was.

How can a family that can marry an upright descendant of Jia Jianing's government be a small family?
If the parents died early, could it be that the maternal family also died, so they could just watch Jia Qiang's child grow crooked with Jia Zhen's doting and Jia Rong's help, and not care at all?
Jia Lian didn't believe it. He knew that it was really painful for grandma to love her grandson!
This is not the strangest thing!The serious head of the Ning Mansion, Jia Jing, is the strangest.

Although he is now a Taoist priest, he should naturally have a decent wife if he can give birth to the Jia Zhen brothers;
To be able to be the wife of a promising heir apparent who has passed the Jinshi examination in the Duke's palace, I dare not say that her background is better than that of Jia Lian's biological mother Zhang, at least she will not be worse.

But even though Jia Jing became a monk and escaped from this worldly world, why did he never see Jia Zhen walking around with his maternal family?
That's his mother-in-law.

Even if you don’t ask, there must be news?Let’s go ahead with the ceremony of three birthdays and two birthdays.

But with so many characters appearing in the Red Mansion, there was no such person on the in-laws’ gift list.

Comparing this with the way Jia Mu and his son-in-law walked around, it seemed too indifferent.

Look at Jia's mother, even after her daughter died, she was still dictating the Lin family. This is what a serious maternal family should do; why are all the Jia family's maternal families silent except for the Wang family.

Is it true that the tea cools down so completely after people leave?There is still no reason why!

If Jia Lian hadn't licked his face and took the initiative to interact with his maternal wife, he wouldn't have noticed the weirdness in it.

"Strange, really strange!"
